What's on at Wild School
Wild School programmes are designed and delivered to give opportunities for children aged 3 - 12 years to spend more time outdoors, play & learn in a natural environment and have their wonder and wellness nurtured. We do this through our One Day Wild School for 5 - 12 year olds, Holiday Programmes and now with our Wild Kindy for children aged 3 - 6/8 years old. See below for current offerings, locations, dates and how to enrol.

Spring is a time where fresh hope and new wonder appears around every little corner of nature.

We will be celebrating change and bringing awareness to the concept of the ebs and flows in life and looking to nature to discover ways that flora and fauna adapt through the seasons.
