Since 2023 Eastbrookend Forest School has been welcoming school groups and families to explore the woodlands and green spaces through a range of activities.
Using a child-centred approach, our qualified Rangers have been leading fun sessions that encourage social development and awareness of risk through creative play and outdoor skills.

Our Forest School sessions for families are delivered in partnership with Early Years Cocoon. We offer early years sessions for children under 5-years old, as well as after-school sessions for 5-8 year olds.
The rangers at Eastbrookend are trained forest school practitioners, each session combines teaching and exploratory learning to boost confidence, teamwork skills and emotional wellbeing.
