The outdoor classroom where children explore nature, develop confidence and get muddy!
Our sessions are imaginative, varied and stimulating.
Established in 2004, BFS is Bristol’s longest running Forest School with sessions taking place in our own woodland as well as on-school sites managed by a team of dedicated Forest School practitioners who offer a variety of nature-inspired outdoor activities.
Our boundaries are natural and simple to promote independence within a secure environment.
Our private woodland is sustainably managed and designed to combine natural woodland elements with well-organised activity areas to support learning and increase confidence. Each of these spaces is extremely motivating to encourage play, curiosity and adventure.

Bristol Forest School offers a variety of sessions for different ages and schedules. These include Parties, School Sessions, Holiday Club days and Staff/Inset Training. Activities are specialised with age-appropriate elements and pitch for 0-12 year olds.
“It has been a delight to watch the children develop their social and communication skills. They have learnt to explore, but have also been taught safety skills and rules as well. Many of these will form the basis of future life skills.”
