The college provides education, learning and care for young people aged 18 to 25 years old who have a wide range of disabilities and complex needs. The addition of the outdoor classroom has enabled the students to develop skills using the natural environment such as investigation, imagination and creativity with activities including shelter building, bug hunts and climbing.
Gemma Young, Fundraising Development Manager at Henshaws Specialist College for Yorkshire, commented: “Our Forest School is a unique educational opportunity for our students to develop confidence through hands-on learning. The outdoor learning takes place in a small woodland area on the Henshaws Specialist College campus, and thanks to Barratt Developments Yorkshire East the outdoor classroom is now complete.
