Forest School

Tannaghmore Primary School is delighted to be involved in The Forest School Programme. Forest School is an educational programme developed from Danish ideas of working with children and young people in the outdoors, helping to build self-esteem, social skills and independence. Hands-on activities with natural materials develop practical and intellectual skills, which can be linked to the National Curriculum. Forest School aims to boost confidence through setting children up to succeed. Tasks are broken down into small achievable chunks that are matched to pupils’ capabilities.

In addition, Forest School helps children become part of an effective team and to participate in a range of creative, sensory and environmental awareness activities. No matter how your child learns, whether they like to listen, watch, or dive right in, Forest School is designed to make sure they thrive.
