OUR STORY

Connecting Children with Nature

At Poole Forest School, we believe that the great outdoors is the ultimate classroom. Our carefully structured outdoor learning sessions are designed to inspire and engage children in a natural setting, fostering a deep connection with nature while enhancing their personal development. Nestled in the beautiful woodlands of Dorset, our sessions offer a refreshing alternative to traditional classroom experiences.
OUR STORY

We deliver a variety of enriching sessions tailored to meet the diverse needs of our community.

From primary schools seeking curriculum enrichment to special educational needs (SEND) groups requiring tailored therapeutic outdoor provision, our offerings are comprehensive and inclusive. We also provide after-school clubs, holiday clubs during every school break, and bespoke birthday parties designed to create unforgettable memories.
Our activities include bushcraft skills such as shelter building and safe fire lighting, nature exploration, creative play using natural materials, and teamwork challenges that promote problem-solving. Each session is child-centred, allowing learners to choose and shape their activities, ensuring they are fully engaged and motivated to learn.
