Wildlings Forest School Home Education Groups

The aim of Forest School is to develop the person as a whole. The outdoor setting coupled with the
child-led learning process through small achievable tasks builds self-confidence and esteem, resilience
and emotional and social skills. These skills are transferable to other areas of your child's learning.
