Forest School

At Grove Park Primary, years 1, 3 and 5 will take part in 10  Forest School Sessions over the school year. The sessions will run over 2 terms. This will enable the children to experience the different seasons throughout the year.  The children attending   will participate in a    two-hour session. This will be either for    the morning session (9:30am - 11:30am)    or for    the afternoon session (1:00pm - 3:00pm). This allows all children in those year groups to take part and build on their Forest School Skills and knowledge as they progress up through the school.

Our  plans for this current academic year (September 24 - July 25) are to have the children visit Forest School in the following order.

Term 1 - Year 3

Term 2 - Year 5 

Term 3 - Year 3

Term 4 - Year 1

Term 5 - Year 5

Term 6 - Year 1

Forest School Timetables and supporting information will be sent out to the parents during  the last week of the    term   and    before your child is due to start their Forest School journey. They can also be found using the links at the bottom of this page.

Forest School Groups will be sent separately by the class teachers. Unfortunately, the office does not have access to this information, so please  wait for the class teacher to email.

Please note:  Any  previously cancelled  Forest Schools Sessions from Term 1  will be rescheduled  and added on to year 3's    remaining Forest School Sessions when they return in term 3.

Thank you for  your time.
