Our children love the outdoors. With this in mind, we have developed a large forest school area at the top of our school site. Children receive weekly forest school sessions (alternate half terms for KS2 children) and all provision is led by a qualified forest school practitioner following the six principles of forest school education.

Orford's forest school aims: 

• To foster a passion and connection for being outdoors
• To support a development of a relationship between pupils and the environment
• To promote the holistic development of all those involved, fostering resilient, confident, independent and creative learners
• To offer learners the opportunity to take supported risks appropriate to the environment and to themselves.
• To provide a range of learner-centred processes to create a community for development and learning
