Training programme

The Bridgwater College Forest School's training programme aims to train those wishing to set up and run Forest Schools anywhere in the country. We offer: Forest school visits - held monthly, involve a brief presentation and visit to the woodland. Adult taster days - an opportunity to spend a day in the woodland finding out what Forest School is really like and experiencing the same kind of personal development that the children experience.

Presentations and conferences - our outreach co-ordinator can come to your area to deliver a presentation or workshop to organisations such as early years departments.

Forest School training courses - part-time and intensive outreach courses are available anywhere in the UK. They range from a Level 1 Skills course, for someone who may simply be interested in developing their use of the outdoor setting, to the Level 3 Forest School Leaders' Award.

The courses include techniques for building self-esteem and independence; experiential learning and behaviour management; delivering the Foundation Stage curriculum through Forest School; and practical skills, including building fires and using tools.
