My children’s School , The Croft Primary School in Painswick, Gloucestershire currently has a small nature area for reception and year 1 children, the friends of the croft school (PTA) would love to develop this area further to become a proper functioning forest school where all ages can go to explore, be creative, learn about nature and the environment.

We are looking to raise money for both the school itself and the training of a forest school teacher.

Learning outside provides excellent stimulation for children, they learn team work through playing with each other. They learn new skills and also learn about danger.

We have a wonderful community in Painswick and we truly hope everyone will join us in supporting this project so the children of today and tomorrow can enjoy the experience of learning outside.
