Forest School

Outdoor learning is very important to us at St Mary Cray.  We have two fantastic Forest Schools.  One on our own site, and the other at another Trust school which we get to visit regularly.

At our on-site Forest School, we offer cross-curricular learning to children across the year groups from Reception upwards, including working with tools, having fires and creating art.  Learning to work together, help and support each other, problem solve and take (supervised and calculated) risks are vital parts of children's learning.

Children in Reception are provided with waterproof trousers and jackets, as well as Wellington boots.  Older year groups should provide their own wet/cold weather clothes as we go out in all weathers.
