PLEASE NOTE: These sessions were originally advertised as a Monday.
Following on our success with KS1 & KS2 children at our Alternative
Provision we will now be offering sessions for children in KS3.
Sessions will run on Wednesday afternoons between 1pm and 3pm
during term time at our Kingston upon Thames site. Groups will be no
bigger than 8 children.
We utilise the Forest School Practice to support children and young
people to be able to learn about, and better manage their social and
emotional needs and behaviours. Over time this increases resilience
and confidence and their ability to access their learning in a more
academic setting. Children and young people that need extra
support away from the traditional mainstream school environment and
curriculum benefit from spending time in our safe space. We have
specialist staff who have developed our outdoor activities to engage
the individual. We encourage emotional regulation and give the child
or young person coping strategies which support them in their school
placement.
We ask that the placement is for a minimum of 19 weeks. The
leadership team consists of an experienced Forest School Leader and
a Research Psychologist. There are a number of additional Forest
School Leaders and trained support mentors. The Forest School is
quality assured through Achieving for Children.
