A message for Forest Schoolers from Miss Gilbert
16 Jun 2026
Hello Forest Schoolers!
Just a note about clothing for forest school. Although the weather is warming up, we still advise long trousers. It is cooler under the canopy and there can be small insects that bite in the forest so it's better to keep skin covered. Cotton or natural material is best as it's more breathable. Wellies are not essential this time of year when it is not too wet or muddy. Good trainers/walking boots that you are happy getting dirty are great - these are also better for tree climbing!
Layers are best as it starts off cool when we arrive and warms up throughout the morning. Please also bring sunhats and apply suncream before school if needed.
Please check the weather in the mornings and dress appropriately.
Thank you!
Miss Gilbert
