Welcome to an alternative approach to education …
At Gumnuts Forest School, we are committed to providing a nurturing and inclusive learning environment that embraces a range of learning styles and promotes holistic development. We believe in the power of the Forest School approach to learning and nature play to foster the core foundational skills of education while prioritizing personal, social, and emotional development.
We pledge to create a learning environment where children can explore, discover, and connect with the natural world around them. Through hands-on experiences, open-ended play, and child-led learning, we aim to ignite curiosity, foster creativity, and nurture a lifelong love for learning.
In our Forest School-inspired programs, we recognize the importance of developing physical, cognitive, social, and emotional skills in a balanced and integrated manner. We provide opportunities for children to build gross motor skills, enhance problem-solving abilities, develop social interaction and collaboration skills, and cultivate emotional well-being through connections with nature.
We are dedicated to empowering children to become confident, resilient, and empathetic individuals who are prepared for success in an ever-changing world. By immersing children in the natural environment, we strive to instill a deep appreciation for the environment and a sense of responsibility as stewards of the Earth.
Through our commitment to a range of learning styles, a holistic approach to core foundational skills, and a focus on personal, social, and emotional development, we aim to provide an education that nurtures the whole child. We believe that by embracing the Forest School approach to learning and nature play, we can create transformative educational experiences that inspire a lifelong love for learning and a strong connection with the natural world.
Join us on this journey as we empower young learners, foster their growth, and make a positive impact on their lives and the world around us.

Our Curriculum
Our curriculum and learning outcomes are focused on the Forest School approach to learning, built around the whole child, as well as personal, social and emotional development. Our approach to learning capitalises on children’s interests, whilst also embedding Indigenous links from local Elders and leaders.
