Home Education Groups

Fantastic and fun alternative education provision for Home Educating families at our forest schools based in Escot, Exmouth, Totnes and Okehampton

Aimed at children over 5 (from the September after their 5th birthday), our Home Education Groups are a great opportunity for children to embark upon a programme of exciting forest school activities that develop practical skills, creativity, confidence, and teamwork. Children are encouraged to make their own decisions and judgements and work together as part of a group in a relaxed, outdoor environment. Our experienced forest school leaders are on hand to guide children through a variety of activities and challenges, but they also empower children to use their own ideas and, of course, give them the space and freedom to play.
