Forest School is a rich and diverse training programme which takes place in the stunning woodlands at Plumpton College. 

Our Forest School offering includes programmes for school groups, as well as holiday clubs for individual children, each focused on giving children the opportunity to learn and develop in an inspirational natural environment.

Forest School Programmes for Schools

We are passionate about getting children and young people back into contact with nature so if you have a group of children that would like to come and experience outdoor learning, we are sure our programmes will be highly popular. We believe that the Forest School experience, with its strong element of self-directed learning over an extended period, encourages self confidence, self esteem, problem solving and team building. These all translate into healthier, happier children with improved performance, in terms of both learning and behaviour, back in the classroom.

Forest School Holiday Clubs

Our very popular Forest School Holiday Club is for children to visit and take part in a day of exciting and fun activities. Children will develop an increased sense of awareness of themselves and their connection to the natural world through exciting and challenging activities, including fire lighting, tool use, shelter building, time to chill, games and woodland art – all creative, challenging and lots of fun. These are run at both Plumpton College and our Stanmer campus during school holidays.

The cost is £25.00 per child and the day will run from 09:30- 15:30.
