Forest school sessions build confidence, self-awareness and a deeper affinity with nature
Free Hackney Forest Schools
ecoACTIVE Hackney Forest School Clubs warmly embrace all children aged between 7 and 11 in our local area. We extend a invitation to those who have yet to uncover the wonders of Forest Schools. Our club provides an inclusive sanctuary for children to come together, learn, and have fun. With session capacities limited to 15 children, priority is given to those who may not have regular access to green spaces or who could benefit from extra support for their physical and psychological wellbeing.

“First-hand experiences of learning outside the classroom can help to make subjects more vivid and interesting for pupils and enhance their understanding.
It can also contribute significantly to pupils’ personal, social and emotional development.”
- Ofsted, 2008 “Learning Outside the Classroom”
