The Forest School

Discover the joy of learning in nature. 

At BCS Prep, we're proud to be one of the only schools in the area offering a dedicated Forest School - a unique, outdoor woodland learning environment designed to reconnect children with the natural world. 

Our Forest School isn’t just a place to play - it’s an inspiring educational experience that enhances the school curriculum through hands-on, nature-based learning. Children engage in activities that stimulate their curiosity, spark their imagination, and encourage a lifelong love of the outdoors. 

Through regular sessions in our woodland setting, students are given the freedom to explore, discover, and take supported risks. The Forest School experience supports: 

  • Physical activity and healthy development 
  • Teamwork and collaboration 
  • Critical thinking and problem-solving 
  • Social skills and communication 
  • Self-reflection and resilience 
  • Multi-sensory learning opportunities 

At BCS Prep, Forest School is more than a programme - it’s a philosophy. It empowers children to grow in confidence, develop independence, and connect deeply with both nature and themselves. 

Come see how learning comes alive - outside.
