Songbirds Forest School - Outdoor Learning
Harnessing Creativity
Over time, we’ve designed and adapted programs to meet the high standards of today’s world of education.
By providing a supportive environment, we make sure each child receives exactly what they need.
Our Preston site is very lucky to have our very own extensive outdoor learning area.
Outdoor learning is a child-centred inspirational learning process, that offers opportunities for holistic growth through regular sessions. It is a long-term program that supports play, exploration and supported risk taking. It develops confidence and self-esteem through learner inspired, hands-on experiences in a natural setting.

The process helps and facilitates more than knowledge-gathering, it helps learners develop socially, emotionally, spiritually, physically and intellectually. It creates a safe, non-judgemental nurturing environment for learners to try stuff out and take risks.
