Forest school is a child-led approach to outdoor learning that's grown massively across the UK. Sessions take place in woodland or natural settings and involve den building, fire lighting, tool use, nature exploration, and free play — regardless of weather.
Forest schools in Greater London typically run weekly sessions for children aged 2-11, though some cater to babies and teenagers too. Sessions are led by qualified Forest School practitioners and follow the principles set out by the Forest School Association.
The benefits are well-documented: improved confidence, resilience, physical health, and connection to nature. For home educating families, forest school can be a brilliant complement to other learning.
