Forest School

Our Forest School enables children at Hardingstone Academy to take their learning outdoors.

Pupils can learn about nature and try a range of outdoor activities including den building and bug hunting thanks to the new Forest School initiative.

Forest Schools are a unique way of building independence, self-esteem and a positive attitude in children and young people through the natural world and teaching them skills including communication, team working and responsibility.

Pupils in every year group will have the opportunity to take part in lessons using the outdoor learning space, which has been planted with new hedgerows and trees and equipped with various resources.
