A mobile forest school serving Hampshire.
Canopy Forest School supports local schools with therapeutic, nature-based alternative provision. We help young people who are struggling to thrive by enhancing their classroom learning,
re-engaging them with education, and improving their long-term life chances.
Supporting
We support Schools and students through using outdoor experiences to build confidence,
self-esteem and emotional regulation. Our experienced staff tailor sessions to support and address the specific needs of each learner. Our goal is to promote holistic development and support each student's success in their mainstream educational setting. We can help support your inclusion strategy and the new SEN reforms. We can help develop and support your school's enhancement provision and sustainability leadership and climate action plan.
Collaborating
We collaborate closely with SENCOs and staff to deliver carefully planned, quality assured sessions that are out-come focused. Our Forest School Nurture Groups are strategically implemented to ensure targeted support, allowing students to develop coping mechanisms, interpersonal skills, and a renewed enthusiasm for learning. We have close relationships with agencies, charities and other organisations to enhance the effectiveness of our support for pupils.
Reporting
We record, assess and report the progress of our students on their individual targets and personalised plans. We share our accurate and meaningful assessments with Schools, students and parents. We monitor and record attendance and engagement and work closely with each schools DSL. We produce annual Impact Reports and share our skills and innovations with school staff. We produce an ecological impact report, sustainable woodland report and a three year sustainable woodland management plan.
We believe...
In providing a classroom with no walls.
Where the sky is the limit.
Nature is the teacher and imagination, play and discovery the curriculum.
Self-esteem, wellbeing, deep connections and a sense of wholeness and joy are the learning outcomes.
Experience the magic of nature
How do we do this?
We reconnect young people with the natural world through supportive outdoor experiences where they feel engaged, understood, and empowered. Our settings help reduce anxiety, build emotional regulation and resilience, and create space for movement, fresh air, and open-ended play.
For those who find classroom learning difficult, our sessions offer opportunities to experience success, confidence, and joy outdoors. At Canopy Forest School, young people learn by doing, explore at their own pace, and develop a sense of calm and belonging. We work closely with schools and SENCOs to deliver carefully planned, quality-assured, outcome-focused support that strengthens inclusive practice.
