Exeter Cathedral School is committed to providing its pupils with a well-rounded education, and Forest School is an integral part of this. By spending time outdoors, children develop a deep appreciation for nature, fostering a lifelong connection with the environment.
Our Forest School sessions offer a unique opportunity for pupils to explore, learn and play in a natural setting. Under the guidance of our experienced staff, children engage in a variety of activities, including building dens, climbing trees and identifying plants and animals. These experiences help to develop essential skills such as problem-solving, creativity and teamwork.
Beyond the physical and cognitive benefits, Forest School also promotes emotional well-being. Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, while also boosting mood and concentration. By connecting with the natural world, children develop a sense of wonder and curiosity, inspiring them to become responsible global citizens.
We believe that Forest School is a valuable tool for nurturing a lifelong love of the outdoors. By providing children with opportunities to explore, learn and grow in nature, we are helping to shape a brighter future for generations to come.
