Forest Quest Driffield
Exciting News: 'Forest School Driffield' is starting. Set in an orchard on Beverley Road in Driffield, Jen - one of the Forest Quest Team - is running weekly sessions for toddlers and their parents. Initially she is running 6 sessions but if successful is aiming to expand the offering. Message us for more info, or go to: Forest Quest Driffield Facebook.
Alternative Provision
And more exciting News: we are starting to provide a Forest School service for schools, the Council, and Home Educating parents. Those who are looking to include an outdoor, practical element to their pupil's weekly education will be able to leave them at our Forest School, currently for a half day per week. This is particularly beneficial for pupils who, due to exclusion, illness, or other circumstances, are not in school full time if at all, and is known as 'Alternative Provision'. We aim to give participants a practical interest in nature and craft skills, and to develop their social skills, perseverance and self confidence. Message us to find out more.
The Forest Quest Philosophy
- To develop skills and confidence to thrive in a natural environment,
- To develop physical skills, mental strength and an appreciation of nature.
- To encourage participants to 'have a go', to persevere, and to follow their interests.
We find the outdoor environment offers an endless range of possibilities to learn new skills and how to manage risk, to connect with nature and to have fun, all of whichhelp improve self-confidence.
Where are we?
We are based in private woodlands just off the A19 between Easingwold and York. However, we can work in other locations.
