Forest School Sessions

Since opening in the Summer of 2015 we have worked with a variety of groups including:

Activities week sessions for secondary school students.
An after school club at a local primary school for Key Stage 2 students.
Holiday club sessions for a group of children between 5 and 11 years old
A parent and toddler session
Family den days.
Saturday Club sessions
A regular, weekly progamme of sessions for students at local alternative provision schools.
Successful taster sessions for children from local primary and secondary schools.
We have run a long term pilot programme with a group of year 5 and 6 students. During this programme children the children became really familiar with the site, learnt lots of new skills and developed hugely in terms of physical and social confidence.
Annual sessions for all students from a local primary where each class attends for a day in the spring/summer.
Ongoing Wellbeing sessions for adults struggling with mental health difficulties.
Regular tutored sessions for people learning to whittle and carve spoons

We are lucky to have several different areas to use at Hakeford Woods with 4 main Forest School camp areas, each with shelter and a unique character. We have a number of compost toilets on site and areas for food a drink preparation.
