Forest School

At Bramley, we place a strong emphasis on taking education outdoors to offer children unusual and fun ways of learning. Outdoor learning provides an alternative way to teach children a diverse range of topics in a non-classroom setting.  This allows our teaching staff to incorporate age-appropriate activities, which are linked to their academic development, covering subjects such as maths, science, design and technology, art and biology.  Activities include bridge-building, learning about local wildlife, creating art from natural materials, developing sensory skills, fire safety and story-telling and reading.

Forest School at Bramley

We are very lucky to have a level 3 qualified Forest School member of staff at Bramley. This enables children from EYFS – Year 6 to have Forest School experiences throughout the year. These experiences include tree climbing, fire lighting, use of tools, pond dipping, bug hunts and many more fantastic experiences.

Bramley believes that Forest School is a valuable way of learning and Mrs Kirby carries out Forest School sessions every week. All children across the school will experience a sequence of Forest School sessions during their time at Bramley, as well as specific sessions linked to class curriculum where appropriate.
