Abstract

This article will discuss the positive impact that outdoor learning can have on young people's wellbeing (Mannion, Mattu & Wilson 2015; Tiplady & Menter, 2020). This is an exploratory study with one group of seven children, 8-13 yrs, from care experienced backgrounds who participated in forest school for 15 weeks. The programme has been developed to support young people across the city who struggle at times with the traditional classroom environment, many of whom are care experienced. Forest Schools have been successful across different part of the United Kingdom (Cudworth & Lumber, 2021; Garden & Downes, 2021).
