Schools
We have worked regularly with Schools in our area offering custom designed programmes.
When working with schools we aim to work with the class teacher and Head teacher to maximise enriching their curriculum topics whilst getting the children learning outdoors and connecting with the natural world. This has been a fantastically successful programme with positive feedback from parents, pupils and teachers all round.

Opportunities for your school
We can customise programmes for other schools local to the Forest Row and East Grinstead area. These can be ongoing weekly sessions that are integrated into the school day utilising your school site so that we minimise transport. We can also run field trip style programmes to fit your needs.
