Bridgewater Forest School unveiled

Bridgewater School is excited to introduce Bridgewater Forest School, an initiative designed to infuse the principles of play and exploration into the core of our child-centred philosophy. More than just a learning environment, Forest School represents a transformative journey for our pupils, fostering holistic development and a deeper connection with the natural world.

The outdoor curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to enhance students’ problem-solving skills, practical know-how and overall confidence. These attributes seamlessly translate into success within the classroom and set the stage for achievement in all aspects of school life.

The Prep Department is excited about the transformative potential of this outdoor curriculum, with Forest School Leader, Mr Connolly, emphasising: “Bridgewater Forest School represents an innovative approach to education, encouraging pupils to explore, discover and grow in a natural setting.”

Prep children are now set to embark on a variety of exhilarating outdoor activities and ventures at the newly unveiled Forest School site, strategically located within school grounds. This carefully planned space ensures a safe, yet adventurous setting for pupils to thrive, fostering a love for learning that goes hand in hand with nature.

The freedom to be yourself is the greatest freedom of all
