You are on the list. Here is what happens next.

A short message from Sarah, and everything you need to know before enrolment opens on 1st September.

A message from Sarah

Why the second adult matters, and why we built this course.

A Forest Schools session lives or dies on the second adult. When an assistant understands what we are doing, they hold back at exactly the right moment. They spot the child who has gone quiet at the edge of the clearing. They let a struggle carry on a little longer than feels comfortable, because they know that is where the learning is.

When they do not understand it, they supervise. They tidy. They answer the question the child was about to answer for themselves. Not from any lack of care. Nobody ever explained what the role actually is. That gap is what Level 2 exists to close. It is not a watered down Level 3. It is a different job, taught properly.

Know someone who should be here?

If you are already Level 3 qualified, this course is for the person beside you at every session rather than for you.

Send them to forestschools.com/pages/level-2-online-founding-cohort to join the list before 31st August. They will need to join themselves to receive the launch price.

Any questions in the meantime, simply reply to any of our emails. A real person reads every one.

Warmly,
