Our journey so far...

The Forest School programme started at Hingham Primary School in February 2017. We were very lucky to have received help from the following organisations:

- November 2017, Annabel Hill from Norfolk Wildlife Trust gave us valuable advice when developing our site. She also officially opened our woodland area on May 2018.

- The Friends of Hingham School purchased a temporary fence (January 2017) and a shed to store resources (April 2018).

- Easton College sent a team from their Arboriculture department to help plant trees (February 2017) and hedgerow plants (December 2017) donated to us by the Woodland Trust.

- Abel Homes erected a permanent fence around the designated Forest School area (May 2017).

- The Ernest Cook Trust awarded us a grant of £1,350 to purchase tools and resources to use during our Forest School sessions (May 2016).

- In September 2017, Norwich Town Close Estate Charity, awarded us a £10,000 grant to build an outdoor classroom in our developing woodland area.

- Norse awarded us a £750 grant to make our outdoor classroom fully accessible (November 2018).

- September 2023, Learning Through Landscapes, awarded us £500 worth of resources, a two hour outdoor training session for staff and membership to the organisation for a year.

Thank you to all the organisations that have helped us on our journey.
