Forest School

At Guillemont Junior School, our Forest School sessions are designed to support the holistic development of the children, through exploration and play in our woodland environment. Through a variety of inspiring and engaging activities, children will develop confidence, problem-solving skills, and a sense of stewardship for the natural world around them. Forest School also supports the development of curiosity, creativity, independence and resilience.
