Hello, I'm so glad its helpful for you! So the forest school I worked was an outdoor nursery which I think translates as Kindergaten age, the children were all between 2 -4 years old.

I really enjoyed reading this, Tom. Having left mainstream secondary teaching after 12 years, I can relate. I'm delighted you have found a way to be an educator in what I think is a much more wholesome environment. Brave move. Good on you 😊

Such an interesting read. My daughter (16) is about to start her A-levels and keeps saying she wants to become a teacher. It is great she knows what she wants to do yet I know it isn’t the right job for her….teaching, yes but not in mainstream schools with all the admin, bureaucracy and ‘not being able to teach the way you know work.’
