Ecology Survey
14/04/2021
We recently engaged the services of a professional ecology consultant (Verity Webster) to advise us on the fauna and flora currently present within our Forest School and more importantly how best we can create an environment that promotes the welfare of the existing wildlife present on the site and also attract new species. Verity recently visited the site to undertake her survey and and will visit again in late spring. We have published her report within the resources section of our Parent Portal, so that all our parents can read it alsongside her recommendations. Anyone interested in Verty's work can follow the link below to her website.

The benefits of outdoor learning
We passionately believe that children experience a huge range of benefits when they are playing and learning outside in natural environments. The natural world provides an infinite amount more learning resources and opportunities that can ever be provided in a single room or playground. This why we have purchased a completely secure and private nine acre field in Denholme, which it is in the process of developing into our own forest school facility, where children can be taken to enjoy playing and learning all day in a totally natural environment. We are not alone in believing this as a large number of studies show that children benefit from learning outdoors in many ways.
