What is a forest school?

Unfortunately, many schools do not have direct access to natural resources like woodlands or parks, so they must think of an alternative way to bring together children and nature. This is where The Tipi Company’s forest school tipis come in handy because they’re essentially used as classroom tents.

We provide a wide range of excellent tipis for schools to use as an outdoor educational setting. Outdoor classrooms are extremely popular because they offer schools a whole new way of teaching their students. Many schools use our Midi Hat Tipi as an outdoor classroom environment. This excellent tipi is ideal for taking students outdoors and creating a fun, spacious environment for them away from their usual classroom setting. Schools could even use the Midi Hat Tipi as a hands-on learning experience for children of all ages.

Wincheap Foundation Primary School in Kent recently invested in one of our tipis and gave us some feedback, saying: “We are so happy with our tipi as it compliments the school ethos of outdoor experiential learning. It provides us with the opportunity to house a whole class, plus space inside to do our forest school activities. It’s also a great shelter in the winter and a cool shade on hot summer days, plus it’s been strong enough to withstand wind and storms. Overall, a great resource for our school.”
