Action PACKED

How Forest School goes above and beyond in o ering their pupils memorable learning experiences

Forest School has an outstanding programme of educational visits, designed to challenge pupils, support them as life-long learners, and as the Good Schools Guide recently wrote about them, integrate with the whole child o ering to provide ‘an education that’s so genuinely rounded you could make hoops from it’. From residential trips in Prep for every year group to places such as Amsterdam, and the stunning heritage coast in Dorset, and choir trips to the South of France and Malta, this continues to be built upon in their Senior School. Politics trips to Washington and art in New York, language visits to France, Spain and foodie excursions to Germany. Adventurous training with the CCF, DoE, and sports team camps across the world – there is something for everyone. The highlight, however, is the whole school Forest In Action programme. Forest In Action is their way of exploring the world, stepping out of our comfort zones, supporting our communities and expanding our horizons. From a sustainable educational visits programme that builds year on year, starting with the Year 7 residential camping trip in Wales (including coasteering, boat trips, bug farming, and learning about the environment and our impact on it), to investigating next steps and honing those ‘power’ skills sought after in the workplace, Forest continues to provide exceptional opportunities for young people to flourish and find out who they really are. What’s more, you now have the opportunity to go and talk to their pupils and hear for yourself. The Forest School Open Day 2023 will be head on Saturday 23 September, from 8.30am-1pm.
