Prince and Princess of Wales visit Herefordshire

The Prince and Princess of Wales have been visiting Herefordshire today.

Their Royal Highnesses visited Madley Primary School's Forest School, where outdoor learning is prioritised within the day-to-day curriculum to enhance children's physical and mental wellbeing.

Each child attends the Forest School at least once a week where they learn both national curriculum subjects outdoors, in a woodland environment, but also learn about environmental awareness, conservation and woodland management.

The Duchy of Cornwall and Madley Primary School have been partners of the Forest School initiative for the last 12 years as the Duchy supplied Madley Primary School with a woodland site at Brampton Hill Wood in order to enable the Forest School to take place in Hereford. Over the subsequent years, due the school's expansion, the woodland area that the Duchy provides has increased, along with the facilities available.
