– children in older primary classes
– secondary schools
– children in urban environments
– special schools
– young people in residential homes
– school refusers
– young people who have been excluded
– adults with autistic-spectrum disorders
– family centres.
Anyone interested in how to implement the Forest School ethos in their learning environment will be enthused and inspired by this book.
