Set in ancient and secluded woodland of Slindon House’s National Trust grounds, Slindon College’s Forest School combines exploration and supported risk-taking with hands-on experience in a nurturing and safe environment.

        

Inspiring pupils to overcome challenges independently and in groups, the boys develop their self belief and resilience by undertaking tasks like: 

• - To work and communicate effectively in pairs or groups;
• - To be able to work independently and creatively on a task
•  
•  
• - To be familiar with the features of their local natural environment;
• - To use a range of hand tools safely to create a finished product;
• - To prepare, light and use fires in a safe, sustainable way;
• - To be aware of and to manage risk.

Connecting to the surroundings of Slindon College provides pupils with the diversity and abundance of natural resources that helps to facilitate this learner-led education.  

Our Forest School is a specialised learning approach that sits within and complements the wider context of holistic education at Slindon College, this specialist programme is run by Mr Michael Dickinson.
