FOREST SCHOOL

At Bromley High Junior School, we make the most of our extensive leafy grounds to maximise opportunities for quality outdoor learning. As part of our strong environmental ethos we offer an integrated Forest School programme from Reception to Year 4.

Forest School takes place in one of our two onsite woodland settings, where our pupils develop an appreciation of the beauty, awe and wonder of the natural world.

Girls have the freedom and space to investigate and explore independently and with friends. Forest School is one of several activities where girls have the opportunity to work collaboratively with boys from Bickley Park Prep School.

Solving problems, completing small tasks and taking managed risks are key aspects that our Forest School offers. It is a time to explore creative self-expression, set individual challenges and to face fears in a supportive environment; developing resilience and confidence.

Girls enjoy their annual six week block of lessons in Forest School which are held at varying times over the year, so they can experience all the different seasons outdoors.

Forest School is the place where magic can start to happen as imaginations, self-confidence and vocabulary begin to grow.
