Curriculum-linked, outdoor sessions

Green Trees delivers a range of half-day or full-day, bespoke, fun, hands-on, curriculum linked outdoor sessions - whether that be within school grounds or local green spaces. We work mainly with EYFS, Key Stage 1 and 2 groups and specialise in Science, although all of our sessions are very cross-curricular and can be tailored to meet the needs of each class and individual setting.

Based in Reading, we work on a regular basis with many schools including: Thameside Primary, Caversham Park Primary, Palmer Academy, Redlands Primary, Ranikhet Primary and The Avenue (SEN) school.
