Forest School Association Website
Forest Schools allow children the freedom to play, explore, learn and develop within natural surroundings, they help to bring the local woodland to life and nurture a respect for nature and the seasons.
Adventure Training North East offer Forest School training courses for adults at levels 1, 2 & 3.
Adventure Training North East offer practical sessions for groups of children from early years to Key stage 5. Our Forest school sessions can be based at your school or at a local site.
There are no pre-requisites for any of these courses, other than experience of working with children and a love of the outdoors.
The minimum age for access to the Level 3 Certificate: 19 years
The minimum age for Forest School Leaders is 21. This is a Forest School Association and Department for Education requirement.

"Forest School is an inspirational process that offers all ages regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning in a woodland environment." (Forest Education Initiative 1992)

We had such a blast on the Native American Indian Day and it was down to both you and Caroline for making it such a fun and memorable experience. We will definately be in touch again to organise another trip with you next year. The kids are still full of everything they did at the Rising Sun. Thank you so much
