Forest
School
Forests are magical realms where children and young people uncover the profound joy of connecting with nature. Our woodlands offer more than just a learning experience—they provide a sanctuary where students build confidence, responsibility, and a deep, lasting appreciation for the environment.
Wharfside Park Forest School offers a unique, nature-based education in the lush surroundings of Wharfside Park. It blends traditional academics with hands-on activities like wildlife observation and bushcraft, fostering creativity, confidence, and a strong connection to nature. We emphasise the benefits of outdoor learning for overall development, preparing young people to be resilient, mindful, and environmentally conscious.
