Forest School Home Education Groups across Devon

HOME EDUCATION GROUPS

Fantastic and fun alternative education provision for Home Educating families in Exeter, Exmouth, Ilfracombe, Totnes and Okehampton, Devon.

Aimed at children over 6 years old, 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.
