We hold Forest School sessions in our Nature Area where we learn about nature and outdoor skills such as whittling, orienteering and woodcraft. We hold these sessions on our school site where we also concentrate on co-operative games, self-awareness and social skills.
We have an allotment near the river at Welshmill. The children enjoy planting, nurturing and harvesting the fruits and vegetables. We bring our produce back to school where it is shared among the classes who use it to introduce the children to new flavours by making delicious soups and stir-fries etc.
Outside area
We have a dedicated outdoor Forest School area where children can enjoy planting and looking after plants and wildlife. We have a pond which attracts frogs every year.
Inside area
Part of the Forest School area is sheltered and can be enjoyed all year round. Children love to study nature in our Forest School as well as develop their cooperation, self-awareness and social skills.

About our
Allotment
Welshmill Allotments
Welshmill Allotments are a short walk down the hill from the school (The children get some good exercise on the way back!)
Our Allotment
We are so lucky to have our own allotment in such a vibrant community. We have a corner plot where we grow a variety of fruit and vegetables each year.
Fruit and Vegetables
Children learn so much from caring for their own plants. They also get to enjoy eating them!
