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 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.
The Woodlanders
Woodlanders: Inclusive Home Education Provision
Among our core aims of Forest School is a drive to be as inclusive as possible. In 2018, we established our ‘Woodlanders’ Group to enable us to better integrate and meet the needs of neurodivergent learners. Running within our existing Home-Education groups, they provide attendees with an opportunity to enjoy forest school sessions in a group that celebrates and embraces our differences, assisted by a higher ratio of staff and a more specialist approach from our Therapeutic Forest School Leader.
