The Pre-Prep School

Forest School

We cultivate a sense of curiosity, adventure and discovery in our dedicated Forest School. In a safe environment, children are allowed to explore their imagination in an outdoor setting, creating magical experiences that stay with them throughout their time in the Pre-Prep. Children make friends in Forest School, learn how to interact with the outdoor world and are taught practical skills that aid their overall development.

The benefits of Forest School

Hands-on learning

Our immersive outdoor environment allows children to engage with the world around them. Through exploration and discovery, they develop a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.

Emotional development

Forest School fosters confidence and resilience. By navigating challenges and working collaboratively with peers, children build essential social skills and a sense of belonging.

Physical wellness

Outdoor activities promote physical health and well-being. Through climbing, running, and building, children enhance their motor skills and enjoy the benefits of fresh air and active play.

Creativity and problem-Solving

Nature inspires creativity! Our programme encourages critical thinking and problem-solving as children engage in imaginative play and hands-on projects.

Environmental awareness

By connecting with the outdoors, children develop a deep appreciation for nature. They learn the importance of caring for our planet and become responsible stewards of the environment.

Activities

Sessions begin with Mr Cox providing a warm welcome and getting pupils set up for their exciting activities ahead.
