St Peters Forest School

St Peters Forest School Mrs rushton is our qualified forest schools’ practitioner. she is working with each class to enable all children and staff to have access to the forest schools’ curriculum. this has many benefits: these are just a few of the advantages the forest schools’ ethos brings. The forest supplements the pupils' studies at a formative time in their educational lives. given the school is directly next to the busy ripple road, the planting of native trees at this site helps to reduce air pollution; creating a healthier atmosphere for the entire school community.

St Peter S Rc Primary School Outdoor Learning While it was initially intended as an intervention for children who would benefit from support for social, communication and teamwork skills, for the past five years forest school has been extended and is now fully integrated into the curriculum for all pupils. Forest school inspires and teaches children through positive outdoor learning experiences that help them to discover the world around them. our children are given opportunities that enhance their capacity for learning as well as developing independence, self confidence and responsibility. Forest school is about learning and growing in nature. our children get to learn in different ways, such as through play and exploring. they are given lots of opportunities to try new things, ask questions and find their own answers, take risks, be hands on and find out what they are interested in. At st peter’s, forest school, is part of our timetabled pe curriculum. forest school takes place in groups of 15 children. the following table shows how forest school fits into our year group curriculums. children will experience a block of forest school lessons which will last 6 weeks.

At st peter’s primary we are fortunate enough to run a forest school programme for all of our year 1 and year 2 children. this takes the form of six sessions on our wonderful big field, with our wild forest school area that includes our 2 willow domes and our “fire circle” of tree stools.
