Wild Kids Forest School Alternitive Provision
Forest School can significantly enhance a child’s ability to engage with academic education by building the foundational skills needed for successful learning. Through hands-on, experiential activities in a natural setting, children develop concentration, problem-solving, resilience, and self-regulation—skills that directly support classroom learning. For children who struggle in traditional settings, Forest School provides an alternative space where they can experience success, rebuild confidence, and re-engage with learning in a meaningful, pressure-free way. Over time, this increased self-belief and emotional regulation can translate into greater focus, motivation, and participation in more structured academic environments.
AQA Awards
At our Forest School, we integrate the AQA Awards scheme for older learners as key component of our curriculum. This program allows students to explore various outdoor vocations while developing practical skills and knowledge. By participating, they can build a comprehensive portfolio that supports their access to the course of their choosing, empowering them to pursue their future ambitions confidently.
