Solihull Forest School

Forest school in Solihull was just an idea to create a classroom in the outdoors.  The idea has grown into the thriving Forest Schools programme we have in Solihull today.

At present Solihull Forest Schools are based with Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council and are working with over 40 % of all Primary Schools in the borough on a regular basis. There have now been over twenty primary school teachers and teaching assistants trained to become Forest School leaders running regular Forest School sessions at their schools.

This training has been achieved via a partnership project with Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, Warwickshire County Council and Coventry City Council with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Solihull Forest Schools ethos statement:

Our aim is that forest Schools will be available across the borough so that all children, sometime in their school life will have the opportunity to experience 'the outdoor classroom'.
