Forest School is an inspirational place that offers children regular opportunities to appreciate and enjoy woodlands.
At Gad’s Hill School we have our very own Forest School in an area of the school grounds that is a truly magical spot. It is just right to cultivate an understanding and respect for natural places from a young age.
We are passionate about nurturing children’s creative talents; we encourage children to express themselves and to get muddy.
Through Forest School sessions the children develop a host of skills including team building, overcoming challenges and discovery of the outdoors. We embrace the weather and children are able to observe the seasonal changes. Nursery, KR and K1 have weekly Forest School sessions with our Forest School leader. A session may include den making, toasting marshmallows or hunting for bugs. It varies and is child-led.
The other areas of the school use the amazing facilities at every given opportunity.
