What people have said about Go Wild at Hudnall Forest School
From the Assistant Head at Greenside School, Stevenage
"Forest School has quickly become one of the most anticipated and loved experiences in our setting. Learners look forward to each session with genuine excitement—many even request to go by finding photos and placing them onto their daily schedules.
The impact on learners has been remarkable. We've seen significant growth in confidence, independence, and positive risk-taking. Forest School provides a safe yet adventurous environment where learners can challenge themselves, explore freely, and build resilience in a natural setting.
Staff have also thoroughly embraced the experience. They consistently speak highly of the sessions, appreciating the positive impact on learners and the opportunities it provides for different styles of learning and connection.
Forest School has become a valuable part of our provision, enriching our curriculum and supporting personal growth in ways that extend far beyond the woodland.”
From a teacher at a local secondary school
"Many of our students thrive most outdoors. In the classroom, they can struggle to concentrate but to take them outside, where they can take charge, set their own boundaries has been fantastic for their focus, confidence, and social skills."
