At Cowbridge School, Forest School is a valued and enriching part of life in the Lower School. Set within our beautiful natural surroundings, Forest School provides children with regular opportunities to learn, explore and grow outdoors in a nurturing and inspiring environment. Through carefully planned experiences, pupils are encouraged to be curious, resilient and independent, developing a deep connection with nature while building confidence and essential life skills.

Forest School at Cowbridge is not just about learning in the outdoors, but learning from it. Children engage in hands-on activities that support the wider curriculum while fostering teamwork, problem-solving, creativity and wellbeing. Whether building shelters, exploring seasonal changes, or reflecting quietly in nature, our pupils are supported to respect the natural world and develop a lifelong love of learning beyond the classroom.
