Forest School

My name is Jayne Boast and I am the Forest School Leader. I have recently been accredited with my Level 3 Forest School Leader Qualification. I am passionate about children learning outdoors and incredibly proud of our amazing woodland environment, as well as our school pond and large playing field. At St Mary’s our Forest School sessions aim to develop the physical, social, cognitive, linguistic, emotional and spiritual aspects of all pupils.. We champion children’s right to play, explore the outdoors, encounter managed risk, and experience the natural world in all its richness. Forest School is a child-centred learning process, providing learner inspired, hands- on experiences in our woodland environment. Overall we encourage children to respect, explore and learn from the natural environment.
