Let Nature Become The Classroom
The after school club is a fantastic program which runs year-round, each after school club is 6 weeks and there is one on during each school term.

AFTER SCHOOL INFORMATION
About After School Club
The type of activities we run on the after school club take in to account the changing of the seasons, for example we might make Christmas wreaths in the run up to Christmas or collect and preserve colourful Autumn leaves (waxed leaves) during Autumn time or make wild garlic pesto during Spring.
The After School Club is suitable for children in the 5-11 age group. We have a low child to adult ratio and there is always a minimum of at least two Forest Club leaders per group.
It is a relaxed club focused on fun and creative learning in which children are free to ‘dip’ in and out of activities as they so choose. With the swings, hammocks and mud kitchen it is also a great way for children to engage in their own creative play and unwind in a beautiful forest setting after the structure of the school day.
