Running 2 short sessions as part of a wider KS2 Wellbeing Day.

  • Rebecca has a natural ability to engage with every single participant. The groups felt like individuals and were treated with such positivity throughout their session.

  • Highly flexible and adapted each session to the individual needs as well as thinking of the group as a whole.

Would you employ or recommend B Outside Forest School for future wellbeing or curriculum based experiences?

  • Absolutely! We’d love to talk about more sessions in the future too.

“For the children to learn about trees and plants by actually being with trees and plants! So much better and more memorable than looking at pictures or videos. — KS1 lead

I asked some of my long term students - who come to me as part of their EHCP provision HOW DOES FOREST SCHOOL MAKE YOU FEEL?

These are some of the things they said.

  • happy, excited, special, I can do everything.

  • good, happy, excited, bold, special, safe and strong

  • very happy, excited, my space to be, able to build friendships

  • free, successful, relaxed, like I can laugh, happy around the fire

  • safe, excited, brave, looked after

To me the words that say the most about the valuable role of FS are

safe, looked after, special, I can do anything, able to build friendships, relaxed, like I can laugh but lets not forget brave, bold, excited & strong.
