Forest School

Forest School is an inspirational process which 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.

​

Led by our Level 3 Forest School Practitioner, our Forest School sessions are tailored to meet the needs of our students at Essa Academy where all participants are viewed as:

​

• Equal, unique and valuable

• Competent to explore and discover

• Entitled to experience appropriate risk and challenge

• Entitled to choose, and to initiate and drive their own learning and development

• Entitled to experience regular success

• Entitled to develop positive relationships with themselves and other people

• Entitled to develop a strong, positive relationship with their natural world
