Nurture Groups
A smaller circle, a bigger sense of belonging
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. Sessions are delivered on school premises, so pupils stay connected to their school community.

How sessions work
The rhythm of a nurture session
Small, targeted groups
Nurture Groups are strategically implemented to ensure targeted support, allowing students to develop coping mechanisms and interpersonal skills.
Emotional development
We weave emotional literacy and intrinsic motivation into every session, in a non-judgmental environment that promotes trust and relationships.
Nature-based learning
Play-based sessions in natural settings help students make choices, take managed risks and develop creativity through student-led learning.
Personalised support
We work with SENCos to establish goals linked to EHCPs and individual targets, tailored to the specific needs of each learner.
School collaboration
We collaborate closely with SENCOs and staff to deliver carefully planned, quality-assured, outcome-focused sessions.
Engagement & reporting
We monitor attendance and engagement, share meaningful assessments, and produce annual Impact Reports.
