# Learning in Nature

  ![Image of Learning in Nature](https://files.schudio.com/westleigh-high/images/news/Forest_School_2.jpg)  15 June 2026

There is something truly special about learning in nature.

We are delighted to see the positive impact Forest School is already having on our students' wellbeing, confidence, resilience, and engagement with learning. These outdoor experiences provide opportunities to explore, discover, and grow in a supportive environment.

We're looking forward to seeing our students continue to thrive.
