W.I.L.D. Forest School Sessions
Flexi Schooling - Home Education - After School - Holiday Camps - Adults
Flexi Schooling
​
​Flexi-schooling is an official arrangement between a parent and a school where a child is registered as a full-time student but attends school part-time, with the remaining time spent being educated at home. Many children who are flexi schooling benefit from spending time in a natural, low demand environment such as Forest School. This environment provides a safe, secure and social space which gives them autonomy and choice.
​
W.I.L.D run Forest School sessions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 10.30/11.30 - 2.30, for children who are Flexi Schooling or Home Educated. ​We also offer trial sessions every month if you would like to try it out and meet our team of Forest School Leaders. ​
You can also call us to discuss your childs' individual needs with a team member on 07495734274

Home Education​
​​
Many families choose to Home Educate their children from birth, some from post early years and some from primary or secondary school.
In autumn 2024, 2,222 pupils were recorded as home-educated in Scotland, a figure which has been steadily increasing, with a significant 40% jump in just two years. These figures represent pupils receiving a full-time education outside of the traditional school system and are reported to local authorities by families who are then required to seek approval from the local authority.
​
W.I.L.D run Forest School sessions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 10.30/11.30 - 2.30, for children who are Home Educated. ​We also offer trial sessions every month if you would like to try it out and meet our team of Forest School Leaders. ​

After School Forest School
​
​Many children who spend a full day in the school environment benefit from spending time in a natural, low demand environment such as Forest School. This environment provides a safe, secure and social space which gives them autonomy and choice. It's a great chance to play in nature, blow of steam and reset.
​
W.I.L.D run After School Forest School sessions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 3.45 - 5.45 including collections from Netherlee, Battlefield and Langside Primaries. ​
We also offer trial sessions every month if you would like to try it out and meet our team of Forest School Leaders. ​

Holiday Camps​
​
W.I.L.D. holiday camps are a great way to spend the school holidays. We spend three full days in one of our 13 Forest School sites within Linn Park. We offer a host of outdoor activities including bushcraft, cooking on fire, nature crafting and much more.
​
W.I.L.D run Holiday Camps in each season except winter; Summer (5 weeks in July), Spring (1week April) and Autumn (1 week October).
