Six Block Sessions

6 Block Session
£610 

We offer blocks of six Forest School sessions for group of children or class, led by the Forest School Lead based at Clapton Park Children's Centre.
 
Please note that if the staff/pupil ratio is not met, the sessions may need to be cancelled.

Allow your pupils to learn in a natural and exciting way through the Forest School ethos.
These sessions cover all areas of the curriculum and support children to engage and develop their understanding of sustainability, love and care.
We have found that blocks of six sessions or more, offer a wide range of opportunities for children to learn and practice new skills, and that we can evidence the impact on children’s learning and development over such a short period.

Staff from participating schools and settings will need to accompany, and be responsible for, the children, whilst the Forest School Lead conducts the sessions.

Participating settings will have access to the changing facilities and use of resources at Clapton Park Children's Centre, and will access Hackney Marshes for the sessions.
 
The site is risk assessed on a regular basis, and the Forest School Lead holds a current First Aid certificate.
