Over the past ten years, Bridgwater College has pioneered Forest School in the UK and developed a curriculum that aims to meets the needs of the individuals -not the reverse. We have worked with children from the age of three, from early years settings, family centres, and special and mainstream schools, and some children with emotional behavioural difficulties and challenging behaviour.
Given the breadth of our experience of Forest School, I want here to:
* explain how to become a Forest leader
* set out the lessons that we have learned
* give pointers for good practice to help both leaders and children make the most of the Forest School experience.
