Forest School SNPT offers a wide range of Outdoor Learning and Forest School courses both unaccredited and fully accredited by Agored Cymru.

We are part of the Cambium Sustainable Trainers Network which has trainers in many parts of the UK. We cooperate in Continuing Professional Development, standardisation of assessment and feedback, submission of work for accreditation to Agored Cymru (Formerly OCN Wales) awarding body and internal and external quality assurance. Trainers meet regularly to discuss the latest developments, and to exchange ideas, skills and techniques and to play for the future. Most members of the Cambium Network provide services direct to schools and other bodies wishing to engage with the expanding use of Forest School, Outdoor Learning and Coastal School techniques in early years, primary and secondary education.

All courses can be run bespoke for your organisation and we also run a number of courses open to general booking (see specific courses for dates).

For each course we’ve described who we think it’s most suitable for. You’ll get more details once you click on the link. Do give us a call to discuss the best option for you.

Testimonials

I was extremely lucky to work alongside some amazing people, both the tutors and students alike, who had a wealth of knowledge and were brimming with enthusiasm and ideas it was infectious.  I learnt about so many new subjects and learning strategies I felt enthused and eager to get back to school to put my ideas into practice.  It was a very intense time but I feel that it has enlightened me.

Assistant Forest School Leader Course

Since discovering my passion for Forest School my work and home life have changed dramatically. I have learned to have more faith in my own children and our children in school. I have learned to allow them to lead and that it’s ok for me to not always be in charge, to allow them to take risks and make their own decisions, to give them back their voice and to let them be heard.
