Welcome to
Bishop Carpenter Church of England Primary School
In being rooted in knowing we are all loved by God, we are then able to be more aware of our God given wings to fly and to flourish, to bear fruit in our lives, fruit of the Holy Spirit, fruit that will last. (John 15 v16)
We want our children to grow by being contemplative, compassionate and courageous

Forest School
What is forest school?
​
Forest School is an inspirational process, that offers ALL learners access to a natural environment during which they have regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on, child initiated experiences.
​
At Forest School, all participants are viewed as:
​
-
equal, unique and valuable
-
competent to explore & discover
-
entitled to experience appropriate risk and challenge
-
entitled to choose, and to initiate and drive their own learning and development
-
entitled to experience regular success
-
entitled to develop positive relationships with themselves and other people
-
entitled to develop a strong, positive relationship with their natural world
​
Why are we doing it?
​
All the evidence and research suggests giving children the opportunity to access outdoor learning promotes their emotional literacy, well being, attainment, behaviour, social skills and enjoyment.
​
With those results we’d be stupid not to!
