Quex Park Forest School

Quex Park Forest School is an outdoor learning centre that brings the philosophy of forest schooling to life in a beautiful woodland setting within the historic Quex Park estate. Following the Scandinavian ethos of embracing nature, the school offers children and young people opportunities to learn, explore and develop through meaningful interaction with the natural world. Sessions are guided by fully qualified Forest School practitioners, emphasising curiosity, resilience and wellbeing as children engage with real environments, tools and wildlife across all seasons.

Quex Park Forest School was established with a vision to provide local schools and families with immersive outdoor learning experiences that reconnect young people with nature. Since opening its forest school on the prestigious Quex Park estate in 2011, the woodland site has grown into a well-loved education space, welcoming over 70 schools for regular sessions, day trips and special programmes each year.

Quex Park Forest School offers an extensive range of outdoor learning experiences suitable for various ages and group types: Forest School Sessions: Children from primary, secondary, SEND and youth groups can book guided sessions tailored to developmental goals, outdoor skills, confidence building and curriculum themes. Activities include bug hunts, den building, fire circle skills, tool use, tree climbing and woodland arts.

Quex Park Forest School is a truly inspiring destination because it goes beyond typical outdoor play, it’s a place where children and young people grow emotionally, socially and physically through authentic interaction with nature.
