This is an exciting opportunity for someone as we are seeking to appoint a new Forest Schools Leader to deliver the programme to all children in school.
At Hallam Fields we have extensive grounds and have valued our Forest Schools provision over many years. Forest School sessions are run during the afternoons, with one afternoon included for PPA.
During Forest Schools sessions you will work with each class, supported by the class teacher and teaching assistants, to deliver Forest
Schools sessions within the school grounds. We are fortunate to have been able to offer the programme for a number of years and the site has developed thanks to the current post holder. We have fantastic grounds and space and as a school we value this time for our children and staff’s well-being and development.
Successful candidates are required to hold a Level 3 Forest Schools Qualification.
Visits are warmly welcomed by prior arrangement – please telephone the school to make an appointment.
You will also find lots of information about the school on the website www.hallamfields.derbyshire.sch.uk
