At Greenfield’s, we use our magical Forest School area created by dedicated staff and pupils in primary class G8.

Forest School is a unique form of outdoor learning, with a play-based and child-led ethos. Pupils engage through practical learning and hands-on activities in a natural setting.

The children are allowed to take risks and explore within a safe outdoor space. Sessions are designed to stimulate each child’s imagination, creativity and desire to explore through activities involving natural materials, shelter-building and natural art.

Each learner gets something different out of Forest School; it can improve confidence, behaviour, physical and social skills, emotional well-being, language and communication, concentration, knowledge and understanding of the world.

Being in nature offers practical, sensory experiences that are suited to the preferred learning styles for many of our learners.

Our pupils have access to the Forest School area within the ICC grounds next to Greenfield School.
