Forest School Ecology Survey
26/02/2021
We have now received the Ecology Report that we commissioned from Verity Webster a very well respected and qualified ecologist. We commissioned Verity to undertake a survey of our Forest School's ecology and to provide us with recomendations as to how we can increase this.
We are very pleased with the report and have placed a copy within the Resources Section of our Parent Portal for all our parents to read, should they wish to.
We intend to follow all of Verity's recommendation and have commissioned her to come back again in summer to complete the survey, when there wil be much more evidence of what fauna and flora exists on the site.

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.
