LOCAL SCHOOLS
Working with local schools to give learners in Devon the chance to take part in inspiring woodland sessions
Facilitating Forest School and Outdoor Learning for your School
Since 2012, our Outreach team have been busy running Forest School sessions within Devon schools. Accommodating one-off sessions in our woodland sites, or bringing forest school to your own setting with year-round provision, we can create a package to suit your needs. We also offer small group sessions focussing on targeted learners and children who may need a little respite from the demand of the classroom.
We promise schools…
- To provide a fun, engaging and social environment for children to build relationships with their peers
- To provide age-appropriate sessions linked to the national curriculum to engage the children and teachers with the outdoors
- To always provide a fun, engaging and social environment for children to build relationships with their peers
- That all staff are suitable, highly skilled and passionate with a broad range of specialist qualifications and experience
Our vision for schools is to provide…
- Opportunity for all schools to have access to outdoor education within their curriculum and opportunities to learn in outdoor spaces. We work with a range of schools to create this opportunity
- Alternative education for all students. We understand that students learn differently. That’s why we create bespoke sessions that are inclusive of students who may not thrive within a classroom setting
- Long term relationships for all teachers. We establish a relationship with students and teachers within the schools we work with, to support their ongoing development and offer advice and outdoor education consultancy.

What Schools Are Saying
“Our children are loving Exmouth Forest School, so much so that we have signed up for the whole year!
We have a very productive, active and fun afternoon session on a weekly basis. The children are encouraged to explore the woodland and they cooperate with each other to complete various activities and challenges.
Littleham Primary School
“The team have played a crucial part in the development of outdoors learning at Blundells Prep!
“Their support and guidance has enabled us to create an exciting programme for our children to fully explore the outdoors, and they have also been on hand to offer insight and training for all of our staff. In short, they have been fantastic!”
Andy Southgate
Headteacher Blundells Prep School
“We wanted to say a massive thank you for our fantastic trip
The children all thoroughly enjoyed themselves outside in the fresh air, gaining confidence and getting dirty! The activities that you delivered were pitched to their level and we saw some different sides to some children that we would never have seen in the classroom which was great to spot. Our children bloomed in the outdoors environment.
