A rigorous British curriculum enriched by forest-based learning - building confident, curious, and capable young people.
Our Primary programme covers Key Stage 1 (Years 1-2) and Key Stage 2 (Year 3, extending to Years 4-6 soon) of the British National Curriculum. Children develop strong academic foundations in core and foundation subjects, while our unique forest setting provides rich, hands-on contexts that make learning meaningful and memorable.
From investigating ecosystems in Science to measuring tree heights in Maths, the forest weaves through everything we do - creating learners who are academically prepared and deeply connected to the natural world.
Reading, writing, spoken language, spelling, grammar - with forest journals, nature poetry, and storytelling.
Number, measurement, geometry, statistics - using real-world forest contexts for problem-solving.
Biology, chemistry, physics - with living ecosystems, weather stations, and hands-on investigations.
Fieldwork, map skills, climate, habitats - starting with our local Watamu environment.
Chronology, enquiry, and local heritage - including the nearby Gede Ruins and Swahili coast history.
Drawing, painting, sculpture, textiles - inspired by natural forms, local craft traditions, and forest materials.
Digital literacy, coding, online safety - balanced with our nature-first philosophy.
Singing, rhythm, composition, and performance - including instruments made from natural materials.
Forest obstacle courses, team games, dance, and outdoor adventure activities.
Local language learning - connecting children to their Kenyan community and culture.
Children transition from the EYFS into more structured learning while retaining a strong emphasis on play, exploration, and practical activity.
Learning becomes more rigorous and subject-specific, with increasing opportunities for research, debate, leadership, and project-based learning in the forest.
Our forest setting provides unique enrichment opportunities that complement the core curriculum.
Weekly dedicated sessions for bushcraft, shelter building, fire safety, and ecological observation.
Understanding sustainable agroforestry, caring for animals and the farm to plate concept prepares our learners to make good quality and healthy food choices in future.
Service learning through local partnerships - beach cleanups, tree planting, and village visits.
