Before attending a session; please read this short agreement and help your child to understand our guidelines and why they are important. Then sign the on-line form at the bottom of this page and press submit.

These are simple, common sense and easy to follow guidelines, however we understand that children may struggle to remember all this, so we will help and gently encourage your children along the way, just as we would during the rest of forest school.

We want all our participants to have fun and be safe. Being outdoors and at forest school is extremely beneficial, healthy and a great boost for the immune system and therefore even more valuable currently.

We really want people to take advantage of this and not be put off in the current climate, so we have spent a long time putting in place a new risk assessment to make things easier and safer.

Our full Covid 19 Risk Assessment and Policy which is in line with government guidelines is available to read here
