Forest School Sessions for Schools

We work in partnership with schools to deliver a complete Forest School experience, either on your own grounds or in our beautiful local woodland at Salcey Forest. Our sessions are designed to enrich learning, build confidence, and connect children with nature in a safe, inspiring environment.

“Our children from Whittlebury Primary School loved their time at Acorn Forest School. They thoroughly enjoyed building dens, exploring nature, and getting creative in the great outdoors. It was wonderful to see their teamwork, imagination, and curiosity shine through as they learned new skills in such a fun and inspiring environment. The mornings were full of adventure, discovery, and lots of great learning.

I would highly recommend weekly Forest School sessions for children from Reception through to Year 6 — it’s a fantastic opportunity for hands-on learning, confidence building, and connecting with nature”

Quote from Whittlebury School
