Bridgewater School unveils a transformative addition to their educational repertoire with Bridgewater Forest School​

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

Bridgewater Forest School aims to provide a dynamic environment that goes beyond traditional education, making perfect use of their four-acre woodland setting less than ten miles from Manchester City Centre. 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.

Prep children at Bridgewater School are now set to embark on a variety of exhilarating outdoor activities and ventures at the newly unveiled Forest School site, strategically located within the 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.

Mrs Nairn, Head Teacher at Bridgewater School, expressed the school’s enthusiasm: “Bridgewater Forest School marks a significant milestone in our commitment to holistic education. This initiative allows our students to engage with learning in a way that is not only educational, but inspiring and deeply enriching.”

The Forest School team 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.”
