Forest School
We believe in a curriculum that goes beyond the four walls of the classroom and Forest School exemplifies this approach.
We have our own dedicated Forest School site and a member of staff is a trained and enthusiastic Forest School leader.
Children in Reception and Year 1 make weekly visits to our Forest School located on the side of Bredon Hill. This offers the children an invaluable opportunity to learn about the natural environment, how to handle risks and most importantly to use their own initiative to solve problems and co-operate with others.
As much as the curriculum in other year groups allows, we also encourage Forest School visits for all our classes.
