Get Outside With Inspired Forest School

Forest School is an ethos for learning outdoors. It focuses on child-led learning and creating a connection with nature.

Enabling your child(ren) regular access the natural world – even if it is just a view of the sky – has been proven to lower anxiety levels and promote calm.

Providing ideas or ‘seeds’ of ideas and activities will encourage imagination and exploration – two key elements of play and progression in child development.

Couple this with the fresh air (proven to aid a good nights sleep), increased levels of motivation, more positive attitudes to learning (no promises there) and the opportunity to exercise as you learn and you can see why it makes sense to add this to your daily timetable.

Introduce an element of risk taking (if applicable) and you are even closer to the full Forest School concept.

In short yes. And it will also help you.

Studies have proven that introducing Forest School, or continuing to provide opportunities for Forest School experiences, have a huge impact on many areas of development. More information can be found by reading studies
