Ferndale Primary School and Nursery Menu Outdoor Learning/Forest Schools Home Covid Information Outdoor Learning/Forest Schools Forest Schools Vision Statement: (Intent, Implementation, Impact) Forest School is an inspirational process that offers all learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland (or natural environment with trees). At Forest School, children run, make a noise, get their hands dirty and learn in a natural space by taking part in seasonal activities that may involve an element of managed risk; by succeeding here, they develop the self-esteem that will support them throughout their lives. At Ferndale, we aim (our intent is) to provide a nurturing space that supports our children’s wellbeing by providing and implementing positive outdoor, child-led experiences in a natural setting, the impact of which will help foster traits such as resilience, confidence and independence and develop motivation, co-operation, decision-making and social skills. Respect for the environment and others helps relationships build in a more relaxed atmosphere so enabling and empowering all students to have the opportunity to achieve their complete and full potential In this section Art Design Technology English International, Spanish and EAL Geography History ICT/Computing Maths Music Jigsaw/PSHE Physical Education Religious Education Science British Values Outdoor Learning/Forest Schools Ferndale Primary School and Nursery Wiltshire Avenue, Swindon, SN2 1NX Tel: 01793 332425 © 2021 Ferndale Primary School and Nursery Website Design by e4education High Visibility Version Sitemap Privacy Cookies Cookie Policy This site uses cookies to store information on your computer.
