Forest School is an educational approach that emphasizes learning in natural, outdoor environments, to support physical, social and emotional growth through hands-on experiences.

At Great Witley Primary School we are very fortunate to have a large Forest School wooded area, which includes a cabin, mud kitchen and climbing trees! 

Mrs Pickett is our Forest School Lead. Over the course of each week, she takes out various Year Groups and engages the children in different activities. Such as den building, bird watching, creating outdoor artwork and using tools safely to create simple woodcraft projects.
