If you have access to woodlands and permission to use it then I can offer a more traditional Forest School experience. This will usually be blocks of 5 or 6 sessions for up to 10 children at a time. Each session will last 2 hours and include a drink and snack. Alternative Forest School / PPA Cover This version of Forest School is more structured to allow a whole class to take part. This can be part of your PPA time planning as I only need one LSA for a class of 30 children. Each session lasts for 2 hours and includes a drink and snack. Don’t worry if you haven’t got a large woods – it works on playing fields next to shrubby areas with a few trees and hedges. Pricing I charge £125 per 2-hour session. This includes VAT and all materials and resources used. There may be additional costs for transport if you are not local. Why Me? I am DBS checked, Outdoor First Aid trained and a Qualified Teacher. The Learning Ranger is fully insured, including Public Liability, and activities are Risk Assessed. I will bring everything that’s needed for the activities, apart from any additional adults that are required. Session times and activities are fully flexible and I am always happy to tailor them to your needs. What is Forest School? Forest School is an inspirational process that has been developing in Scandinavian countries since the 1950’s but only made its way over to Britain in the mid 1990’s. Its basic aim is to connect children and adults with nature whilst supporting their social, emotional and physical development. Forest School sessions provide children and adults the opportunity to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning and play. Activities during Forest School sessions may include shelter building, fire lighting, using tools, outdoor cooking, games and self-led discovery.

Based in Reading (near M4 J12 ) I run a small well equipped workshop and hold classes for between 2-4 people at a time. This means you get plenty of individual attention, you won't have to wait long for any help you need and you will be surprised at the progress you can achieve in just one day. It is a fun day out I can guarantee you will find both satisfying and enjoyable. Art is food for the soul! Full & Half day workshops Take a look at the student gallery below to see some of the inspiring creations made at my workshops. Timings are 10am-4pm weekends and 9.30am-3.30pm weekdays and are priced at £100 per day or £50 for half day (mornings or afternoons, 3 hrs) with all materials and firings included. There is a set limit of glass allowance for workshops which allows me to keep the workshops at a very reasonable price..(extra glass can be purchased if you have time and wish to make more but I find the amount included in the price is usually enough anyway). 200sq cm for the half day= for example two 10x10cm coasters or one piece 12cm x 17cm of a tealight holder 400sq cm for the full day= four 10x10 coasters or a large free standing wave or a smaller wave + 2 x coaster size pieces ...basically, you can use your glass allowance how you wish. Work can be collected or delivered (cost of delivery is £10 per small parcel and £15 per large parcel) I also provide a variety of tea, coffee soft drinks and biscuits throughout the day.(included in the cost of the course) children taking part in half/full day workshops must be accompanied by a paying adult..9+ age is preferable but please let me know if your child is younger so we can discuss needs and suitability.
