Forest School Clothing Guide letter from Mr Barnett
Dear Parents,
Please find below a table of advice for the clothes your child should wear/bring to Forest School. We advise that years 1 & 2 can arrive in their forest school clothes and bring school uniform to change into after the session. Years 3,4,5 & 6 wear school uniform as normal to school and bring their Forest School clothes in a bag. Please be aware that in the sessions, children will get wet and muddy therefore, please bring a separate coat for the session along with their school coat.
