"Outdoor Learning using a Forest School approach" is a five-day EPV-approved course that immerses teachers in outdoor, nature-based learning. It builds confidence and competence in bringing children outdoors for regular, meaningful learning experiences across the curriculum, while supporting SSE and whole-school development.
