Forest Schools

At The Vale Primary Academy, we believe it is crucial for our students to have access to a broad range of opportunities and experiences to foster their confidence, communication abilities, and problem-solving skills, ultimately preparing them to become productive members of society. Throughout their academic journey at our institution, students have the opportunity to engage in Forest School sessions for one half-term each year, facilitated by an external Forest School instructor, who conducts these sessions in our dedicated outdoor Forest School area. Additionally, this year, we have enhanced our nature area within the Early Years curriculum, providing similar opportunities for our youngest learners to engage in and benefit from high-quality outdoor education experiences.
