Langley Forest School is an inclusive school and strives for integration. However, on occasion, the unique needs of an individual child cannot safely be met in a forest school setting. Should this occur, it may be deemed by Langley Forest School that your child cannot be appropriately supported in a forest environment. In this case, enrolment may be denied or your child may be enrolled conditionally.
