Splendid Sparrows

Splendid Sparrows starts up at Wild City Collective CIC on Wednesday 4 November, running weekly until 9 December. It's a Forest School for children and young people aged 4 to 16 with a Christian faith who are educated at home, and it's led by Kathryn Clark, the founding director of Wild City Collective CIC.

The sessions run as a twelve-week term during term time, with a weekly Wednesday drop-off from 9:30 to 12:30. It's an outdoor education community where children explore nature and learn about creation with a team that understands their families' faith and values. The learning follows two home education resources, Exploring Nature with Children Curriculum and Raising up Wild Things, and it changes with the seasons in the woods around them.

Wild City Collective, the Reading-based organisation behind it, connects people with wild urban green spaces through creative, inclusive outdoor activities. Along with Forest School sessions, they run Wild Camps and Wild Pioneers, as well as home-education groups like Wondrous Wrens and Little Robins.

Splendid Sparrows runs on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 to 12:30, starting 4 November and continuing weekly until 9 December, at Wild City Collective CIC, 59 Gloucester Road West, Reading RG30 2TH.
