Forest School

At Grove Primary School and Nursery we are explorers!

We want our pupils to love the outdoors. We want them to have no limits to what their ambitions are and grow up wanting to be gardeners, architects, tree surgeons, woodland workers, or environmental officers! We want them to embody our core values and show care and respect for the environment. We want them to take enjoyment from being in the outside world.

We all believe that we can: “Bring Out the Best in Everyone”.

Our Forest School sessions are carefully crafted so that our children develop their outdoor capital. We want our children to remember their outdoor learning sessions in our school, to cherish these memories and embrace the opportunities they are presented with!

"Forest School is an inspirational process, that offers ALL learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees.

Forest School is a specialised learning approach that sits within and complements the wider context of outdoor and woodland education" (Forest School Association)
