The philosophy of Forest School is to encourage and inspire students, through positive experiences, by engaging them in motivating, achievable tasks and activities, within a woodland environment.
The curriculum is designed to ensure the five key Forest School Objectives are developed.
Independence
Self-discovery
Confidence
Communication
Self Esteem.
These objectives are key factors in the Forest School curriculum playing an important role in developing cultural capital. This curriculum has been
developed as a bespoke model for our Unity children. We believe that it provides our children with the skills needed to progress positively not only with their education but with their life journey..png)
