The Forest School Approach

Building Confidence & Self-Awareness

At Surrey Hills Forest School, we’re all about cultivating confident and self-aware young minds through the power of Forest Schools. Our approach is individual, inspirational, and innovative, providing an enriching outdoor play experience like no other. By immersing themselves in these exciting adventures, children naturally grow in self-assurance and self-understanding, while also learning about important boundaries in both physical and social contexts. This empowers them to bravely explore and challenge their own perceptions of risk.
