Forest School

TMPF Trust are very proud to be able offer Forest School provision for pupils here at Great Wood C.E. Primary School.

Forest School sessions offer children enriching, hands on learning experiences in a natural setting. Through exploration, creative activities, and practical skills, pupils develop confidence, independence, and resilience. Nature becomes a classroom where children problem solve, collaborate, and discover their own strengths.

Wellbeing is central to our approach. Time outdoors reduces stress, boosts mood, and supports emotional regulation. Activities such as den building, tool use, team challenges, and nature crafts help children build friendships, communicate effectively, and enjoy the calming benefits of the natural world.

Environmental awareness is woven through every session. Children learn about local wildlife, habitats, and seasonal changes, developing respect and responsibility for the environment. By practising sustainable behaviours, they begin to understand their role in protecting the planet.

Led by trained staff, sessions are safe, supportive, and encourage appropriate risk taking. Our Forest School nurtures confident, caring, and environmentally aware learners. Our Forest School sessions are led by Mrs J. Carnall.
