St Faith's Pre Prep

Forest School

Forest School sessions are led by our Wild Place lead Miss Harder.

Forest School is a growing outdoor education approach with roots in Scandinavia. Children spend time in a wooded setting and are provided with opportunities to connect with nature, follow their curiosity, develop resilience, use tools safely, build connections with each other, make new experiences and take positive risks. It is a very child led process where adults support the holistic development of each participant.

We believe it is an integral part of our approach to children’s wellbeing at St Faith’s and helps connect them with a world that they can steward responsibility even now and make a positive contribution to.

We follow the FSA guidelines for Forest school which can be found here.

A child in a black jacket is holding onto a rope with both hands, fully immersed in their Forest School adventure. Behind them, a wooden fence showcases colorful cutouts with photos attached. The ground is carpeted with leaves, adding to the natural play setting.
A young child from Pre Prep, wearing a red sweater and black pants, is intently climbing a large tree branch. The backdrop of lush green foliage and a wooden fence frames the scene as they grip the branch with both hands, showcasing their determination and focus.
A young boy in a red shirt and blue jacket, wearing a protective glove, is whittling a stick with a blue-handled knife. Participating in his Forest School activity, he is focused on his task amidst greenery and a fallen tree in the background.
