THE FOREST SCHOOL PRINCIPLES

The Forest School ethos has six principles, which were agreed by the UK Forest School community in 2011. The full six guiding prin-ciples of Forest School can be found on our website.

Principle 1 states:Forest School is a long-term process of frequent or regular sessions in a woodland or natural environment, rather than a one-off visit. Planning, adaptation, observations and reviewing are integral elements of Forest School.

With these principles as best practice guidance we suggest a minimum of 6 planned Forest School sessions. A Forest School Leader will arrange an initial consultation where we can discuss your individual/group’s need and go over The Forest School Experience Handbook.

In addition to our 6 session package, we can offer bespoke packages, please see our website for further details: wings.scot The Forest School Experience.

Studies reveal: on average, children spend an hour or less outside per day, with one in ten never playing outdoors.
