Pollyteach Forest School

Forest School is an accredited outdoor learning approach here at Pollyteach that uses natural environments to support confidence, develop social skills and character, independence, and well-being through hands-on, practical activities.

We can incorporate our Forest School into student curriculum pathways, or deliver standalone sessions for schools and groups. 

We aim to enable participants to experience challenge, succeed in their learning, and feel that learning can be fun and relevant to their lives, and to become independent and enthusiastic learners with a willingness to take considered risks.

Session details

Sessions are available in two slots:
9:30-12:00 and 12:30-15:00, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Sessions are available for up to 8 students and would require school staff to accompany the group in a safe ratio determined by the school/referrer.

Sessions are £315 plus VAT per session as a flat fee and are available to book in blocks of 6 or 12 weeks.

Two Forest School qualified Pollyteach staff will lead the session, making it safe for medium sized groups, and transport support is available upon enquiry.
