At Bishop Chavasse Primary School, we are fortunate to have a large, dedicated Forest School area, and an accredited Forest School leader.
Our Forest School benefits from an outdoor shelter, campfire site, woodworking equipment, bug hotels, outdoor theatre and mud kitchen.
Forest School at Bishop Chavasse School allows more than just opportunities for children to develop their imaginations; it allows children chances to grow socially, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and intellectually. This in turn allows the children the opportunities to risk take and build up resilience helping them to grow as lifelong learners.
At Bishop Chavasse we are very lucky to have a permanent shelter within the Forest School site - this allows us to always go outside regardless of the weather. Please see below clothing suggestions for the different seasons. See also the link to a website which explains the importance of clothing layers Layers explained | Outdoor clothing | Muddy Faces
