SILVERWOODS FOREST SCHOOL

innovative educational approach to outdoor play and learning

Welcome to Silverwoods Forest School

At Silverwoods Forest School, we provide an innovative educational approach to outdoor play and learning for children, young people, and adults across Surrey, Hampton, Leatherhead, Cobham, Dorking, the Surrey Hills, and West Sussex.

With over a decade of Forest School experience, our ethos is rooted in adventure, creativity, and connection with nature.

Through play, exploration, achievable challenges, games, art, crafts, and campfire cooking, learners of all ages develop:

🌱 Confidence

🌱 Self-esteem

🌱 Problem-solving skills

🌱 Resilience

🌱 A deep respect for the natural world

Forest School takes place all year round, in all weathers except high winds, thunderstorms or lightning, so every season becomes part of the adventure. With undercover shelter available, we can enjoy our woodland space come rain or shine. This is used at our party and holiday club site at The Weald C of E School.

Silverwoods Outdoor Learning

Silverwoods Outdoor Learning is the consultancy and curriculum development branch of Silverwoods Forest School.

This branch supports schools and nurseries in designing meaningful, hands-on outdoor learning experiences that connect directly to the National Curriculum.

Through curriculum-linked planning, workshops, and consultancy, I help educators bring subjects like science, geography, and art to life beyond the classroom — turning outdoor spaces into powerful learning environments.

Connecting curriculum to the natural world
