Not just Forest Schools

Here at Golden Badger we know that Forest Schools is fun and a brilliant resource to have available to children. It teaches many wonderful lessons that children need to learn and hinges on the learner being regularly, actively engaged with their outdoor woodland environment. 

However, Forest Schools is a model that was developed for the Scandinavian education system and its purpose is not to meet curriculum objectives that are in our National Curriculum. We believe that regular active engagement with our outdoor environment is crucial for healthy childhood development.

There are many National Curriculum objectives that can be met in an outdoor setting without taking away from the time needed for Forest School objectives.

We can run survival and bushcraft skills days on your school site, offering a package tailored to you, your school and your learners.

We can offer staff CPD in connection to ourdoor learning.

We can offer outdoor education lessons delivered by a qualified teacher that have specific national curriculum learning objectives.
