Shared Earth Learning are running forest school sessions for children with additional needs this summer holiday. These sessions are subsidised by Somerset Council’s Community Inclusion Action Team.
Forest school is for children of all ages and abilities. It builds on a child’s innate motivation and positive attitude to learning. One of the benefits of forest school is the high adult/pupil ratio, which encourages an attitude of shared inquiry and enjoyment of the natural world. Children are encouraged to explore and appreciate their environment, enabling them to think creatively and confidently. Forest school is child-led with opportunities to take risks, make choices and initiate learning for themselves, providing a chance to discover their abilities without fear of failure or criticism.
These sessions are suitable for children aged between 7 and 18 years.

Shared Earth Learning are also offering non-SEN forest school sessions – you can find out more here.
