About the Forest School Curriculum
Forest School Immersion runs entirely outdoors, from bright summer mornings to cold, wet winter afternoons. Children learn to dress for conditions, use real tools with supervision, and shape their own play across a woodland site that changes week by week.
Core Curriculum Pillars
- Tree & Seasonal Study:Tracking the same trees through every stage of the year.
- Woodcraft & Tool Work:Whittling, sawing, and shelter building with close guidance.
- Risk Literacy:Assessing height, fire, and terrain with a leader rather than a rule.
How We Document Growth
Leaders record how children assess risk, persist through discomfort, and cooperate on physical tasks. Documentation happens in the field, in notebooks and photographs rather than in a classroom folder.
- Weekly photo and field-note updates in the parent app
- Individual learning portfolio with documented woodland projects
- Quarterly family-development conference
- Shared kit list and seasonal preparation guidance

What Communication Looks Like in Forest School
Families receive weekly field notes describing what the group built, found, or attempted, plus clear guidance on clothing and footwear for the season ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ratios start at 1:3 in the infant cradle and widen gradually to 1:8 in Kindergarten Prep. Every room keeps a consistent primary educator so your child is known by name, not just supervised.
Most children settle within two to three weeks. We plan a staggered start with you, keep goodbyes short and predictable, and send a photo once your child has re-engaged with the room.
All meals and snacks are cooked fresh on campus each morning. The kitchen is fully nut-free, and we cater for allergies, halal, kosher and vegetarian diets without serving a separate meal at a separate table.
Children go outdoors every day in all but severe weather, with a minimum of 90 minutes in the forest yard. Send waterproofs and boots; we keep spare kit on site for the days you forget.
You'll get daily updates in the parent app covering meals, naps, activities and educator observations, plus a quarterly development conference and a portfolio of your child's work.
Not at all. Children join us at every point in the year, and toilet learning is something we support alongside you rather than a requirement for a place.
