Birch Forest Schools is currently working in partnership with Thornton Lodge Action Group (TAG) to deliver a seines of sessions aimed at improving environmental diversity across play spaces in the Thornton Lodge area. Sessions run on Saturday mornings for local children (age 8 - 12) with community celebration and participation events for families during school holidays.
Owing to increasing demand for provision for sessions for younger children, i.e. babies and toddlers, we are currently devising a programme of sessions that will meet this need.
If you would like to be kept informed by email of future Birch Forest School events and programmes, please contact Lisa Mew (Kirklees coordinator) or Deni Riach (Northumberland coordinator).

Our Introduction to Bushcraft sessions are aimed at adults (18+) or parent and child (10+) who want the opportunity to learn and/or practice Bushcraft skills in a safe and supportive environment. The sessions run from 10 a.m. until 4p.m. or until daylight ends. Campfire lunch is provided as are refreshments throughout the day. Find out more here >>
Birch Forest Schools is currently pursuing funding to restart the Colne Valley Bushcraft Club following multiple enquiries from parents and children who accessed this provision as an after school club or during the holidays.
Birch Forest Schools is working in partnership with a range of agencies and will be developing progtrammes throughout the year as funding becomes available.
