Our home education sessions will help your child develop a range of practical and social skills, whilst learning about wildlife.
In relaxed outdoor settings we run a number of home education groups where children can be themselves and work together to develop social skills and to foster a deep understanding of wildlife and a love of the natural world. Activities may include den building, woodland crafts, using tools, and fire lighting. The sessions run weekly during term time— every Wednesday from 25 February to 25 March (5 weeks). Please note that the 5-week ticket is only available on the listing for the first day of term. The 1-week ticket is available for 25 March only. If you would like to attend another week, no problem.
