Grace
FOUNDER & LEAD PRACTITIONER
Grace fell in love with the Forest School ethos during her undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Education in Devon, England. After attending placement at a Forest School nursery in North Devon, she knew this was what she wanted to recreate one day!
She continued her teaching journey in North Wales by completing her PGCE (Primary Teaching Qualification) at Bangor University. A year after completing her post graduate degree, she decided to pursue her training and qualified as a Level 3 Forest School Practitioner and a Level 3 Coastal School Practitioner!
