In addition to school visits for children, the Alice Holt Education team runs CPD and INSET days for teachers, school support staff, Early Years practitoners and student teachers. We have run a number of very well received courses for Early Years professionals, Primary School staff and student teachers involving hands on experience of a range of activities with cross-curricular application, discussion of the benefits of outdoor learning and a look at risk assessment. For Secondary Schools we offer training for geography fieldwork and aspects of citizenship, particularly appropriate for NQT's and non-specialist teachers. We can provide a course especially for your school or setting staff (or staff from a group of schools or settings) either at Alice Holt Forest or at your school. Information can be found on our learning pages. For more information and booking please ring 01420 23666 or email helen.wallace@forestry.gsi.gov.uk
