Top 5 reasons to take forest school CPD this summer
Summer might seem like the obvious time to switch off — but for educators, it’s often the best opportunity to invest in something that genuinely changes your practice. Here’s why forest school CPD should be at the top of your list.
1. You’ll come back to school transformed, not just trained
Forest school CPD isn’t a tick-box exercise. It challenges you to slow down, observe, and let children lead — and that shift in mindset follows you back into the classroom.
2. Summer courses fit around school life
No cover to arrange, no disruption to your timetable. A summer CPD course means you can focus fully on your learning without the pressure of school commitments running alongside.
3. You’ll be ready to launch from September
Completing your training over summer means you arrive in September with a qualification, a plan, and the confidence to get started straight away. Many of our graduates have their first sessions running within weeks of term starting.
4. Small group training means real support
We deliberately keep our courses small. You’ll get proper time with your trainer, space to ask questions, and genuine peer connections with other practitioners — many of whom stay in touch long after the course ends.
5. Your school community will feel the difference
This isn’t just CPD for you. Children, colleagues, and families all benefit when a practitioner brings genuine forest school training into a setting. The ripple effect is real.
Our next course runs on Tarpology, 2nd July at Langley Logs, WD4 8RS. Spaces are limited.
