Shropshire Council Forest School

Shropshire Council now have exemplar woodland Forest School sites across the county.

These sites are situated;

• South of Shrewsbury near Condover
• North of Shrewsbury near Hadnall
• In the south of the county near Ludlow
• In the Oswestry area, near West Felton

These are sites that are staffed with qualified Forest School Leaders, employed by the council. Local schools and settings can access sessions at these sites throughout the academic year. If you are a setting in Shropshire that would be interested in Forest School sessions, please contact us.

Shropshire Council greatly subsidise the cost of the sessions with settings only having to pay a small fee and the cost of their transport to and from the site.

The ideal is that the school / setting will access Forest School sessions for the whole academic year. However, to enable other groups to access it, sessions are often broken down into visits for the whole or half of a term.

To maintain the quality of the experience, we ask that class numbers are kept low for Forest School sessions, the adult : child ratio, is kept high.

In addition to these exemplar sites and sessions there, many schools now have staff that are Forest School Leader trained. They deliver Forest School sessions regularly on their own school grounds.
