Lime Academy Forest Approach are hosting a forest festival on Saturday 20th June from 12–3pm and it's open to all!

"Lime Academy Forest Approach is a fantastic school that supports children with additional needs and does an incredible job helping them learn, grow and build independence. The staff work incredibly hard to create real-life learning opportunities that help prepare the children for everyday life.

The festival is also helping to raise money for a new school minibus. This is really important as it allows the children to access the community for valuable life skills experiences. For example, some of the children visit Tesco to learn how to shop from a list, handle money and make purchases, then return to school to prepare food using what they’ve bought. These kinds of trips make a huge difference to their independence, confidence and learning.

It will be a lovely community event with stalls, activities, music, crafts and refreshments, so please come along if you can and support this amazing school and the children who attend it"
