Forest Schools Consultant

Sophie qualified as a primary school teacher 25 years ago and has experience teaching across both Primary and Early Years settings.  She has a passion for taking learning outside and is a Level 3 qualified Forest School Leader.

Sophie has used her Forest School practice in a variety of settings including Primary Schools and Nurseries.  She is particularly interested in the way that this style of learning enables young children to build self-confidence, resilience and problem solving.  She also uses it as a powerful tool to allow children’s voices to be heard.

Sophie has joined our team as a Forest School Teacher where she will lead sessions taking children into our dedicated Forest School woodland site.
