Get Out More is once again running the accredited introduction to forest school training course, ‘Level 1 Award in Forest School Ethos and Principles’, taking place 16 – 18 September 2025 from its premises in Cliffe Castle Park in Keighley

The level 1 training is an introduction to the forest school ethos, introducing the Forest School Principles and how the approach can benefit the holistic development of children and young people. Learners will participate a range of woodland skills such as games, shelter building, fire lighting and tool work, enabling them to facilitate outdoor learning using different learner-centred processes, while encouraging children’s social development, confidence and self-esteem.

This course is suitable for anyone working with children and young people including school staff, community workers, parents etc. It is ideal for those people who are wanting to gain skills for working outdoors with individuals and groups, those who want to explore Forest School before embarking on the level 3 course or those who wish to support a trained Forest Schools practitioner. 

This is a Kindling /Scotswood Training course regulated by ITC Awards and delivered by experienced trainer, Annie Berrington of Get Out More CIC
