Did you know that we run a fantastic Forest School here at St Benet’s? Each half term, one year group enjoys weekly sessions led by our fully trained Forest School Leader, taking place in the beautiful local woodland in Ouston—just a short walk from school. These sessions give children the chance to explore, discover and learn in a natural setting, building confidence, resilience and teamwork through hands‑on experiences. From shelter‑building and problem‑solving to developing a deeper appreciation for nature, Forest School nurtures well‑being, independence and a sense of adventure. It’s one of the many enriching opportunities that make St Benet’s a vibrant, nurturing and forward‑thinking place for children to grow and thrive.
