Forest School Teacher – Part-Time

We’re on the hunt for a passionate Forest School Teacher / Outdoor Learning Practitioner to join a creative, and forward-thinking primary school that’s brimming with ambition and imagination. This is your chance to bring learning to life in the great outdoors and make a real difference to the children in your care.

Hours: 19.5 per week (Tue, Wed, Thu)

This isn’t your average school. With a strong focus on curiosity, creativity, and ambition, their mission is to develop independent, confident, and intellectually curious young people through an approach rooted in equality, engagement, and empowerment.

The school is part of a wider academy trust and works closely with partner schools to share best practice and continuously improve provision.

About the Role

You’ll be at the heart of the outdoor learning provision, leading Forest School sessions across EYFS to Year 6. Your days will be full of:

• Sparking curiosity and creativity in nature.
• Supporting and covering classes when needed.
• Helping children explore, take risks, and learn outside the classroom.
• Building a confident, inclusive, and adventurous learning environment.
• This role is perfect for someone who thrives on flexibility, collaboration, and creativity and wants to make an impact beyond the four walls of a classroom.

What We’re Looking For

• A positive, energetic practitioner with Forest School or outdoor learning experience.
• Confidence in supporting or leading classes of up to 30 children across EYFS to Year 6.

Why This Role Rocks:

• Join a school and team that genuinely cares about children and staff.
• Shape memorable, hands‑on learning experiences in a supportive environment.
• Part‑time hours = perfect work‑life balance.
• Ongoing professional development within a supportive academy trust.
