Growing Our Forest School Team! 🌳🙌🏻

24th Jun 2026

We are delighted to share that another four members of staff have successfully completed their Level 3 Forest School Leader training with Northern Ireland Forest School Association.

 

This exciting achievement reflects our school’s continued commitment to providing high-quality outdoor learning experiences that nurture children’s wellbeing, curiosity, confidence and independence.

 

Through their training, our teachers have developed the knowledge and practical skills needed to plan and deliver engaging Forest School sessions, helping children connect with nature while developing resilience, creativity, teamwork and problem-solving skills.

 

With four more qualified Forest School Leaders joining our team, we are excited to further expand our outdoor learning opportunities and continue embedding Forest School principles across our school community.

 

Congratulations to our newly qualified Forest School Leaders - Mrs O’Connor, Mrs Hopwood, Mrs Colgan and Miss Murphy - on this fantastic achievement.
