Every child in the school takes part in six afternoon Forest School sessions each year. We introduced this initiative back in 2012 to maximise our use of the fantastic grounds and varied habitats we are privileged to have here at Overdale Junior School.
Forest Schools began in Denmark as an innovative educational approach to outdoor play and learning. The aim is to encourage and inspire individuals through positive outdoor experiences, enabling them to develop personal and social skills, motivation, self confidence and self esteem.
