Forest School, Reimagined — Where Learning, Wellbeing and Nature Grow Together
At Wild Minds Nature Connection CIC, we believe Forest School should be about more than outdoor play.
Our woodland-based sessions combine curiosity, creativity and connection — helping children to thrive emotionally, socially and academically.
We blend traditional Forest School principles with nature-based wellbeing, environmental awareness and emotional literacy, creating experiences that support calmer, more confident and resilient learners.
Our In-School Forest School Offer
A Whole Year of Woodland Learning
Bring the magic of Forest School to your own grounds with a full year of hands-on outdoor learning.
We deliver structured half-day or full-day sessions across the academic year, led by experienced Wild Minds facilitators.
Each session builds on the last, nurturing children’s growth through play, teamwork and exploration.
Programmes are fully tailored to your school’s priorities — whether that’s improving engagement, building resilience or supporting children with SEMH needs.
Benefits include:
- Improved emotional regulation and resilience
- Increased focus, confidence and cooperation
- Stronger relationships and teamwork
- Enhanced curriculum links (science, PSHE, geography, art, literacy)
- Improved attendance and engagement for children who struggle in classroom settings
“Wild Minds has transformed how our pupils see themselves and each other — they return to class calmer, happier and ready to learn.”
