Forest School

Forest School at Penshurst Primary School provides children with regular opportunities to learn and grow through meaningful outdoor experiences, closely reflecting our school values of Work Hard, Be Kind, Dream Big.

By taking on practical challenges, exploring nature and developing new skills, children learn to work hard, showing perseverance, independence and problem-solving in a real-life context. Forest School nurtures kindness, encouraging teamwork, respect for one another and care for the natural environment. It also inspires children to dream big, building confidence, resilience and a sense of achievement as they challenge themselves in new and exciting ways. These experiences support children’s wellbeing and help develop motivated, confident learners both inside and outside the classroom.
