Forest School

Our Lady of Grace offers “Forest School” play to our children led by our Forest School Leader, Mrs Marchant.  Forest School  is a child-centred inspirational learning process that offers opportunities for holistic growth through regular sessions. It is a long-term programme that supports play, exploration and supported risk taking. It develops confidence and self-esteem through learner inspired, hands-on experiences in a natural setting and offers learners the opportunity to take supported risks appropriate to the environment and to themselves.
