Kath Stathers, Founder
I founded Wild Roots Forest School in 2023.
Before this, I had spent my working life as a writer and editor but during the pandemic, like so many others, I took stock and decided it was time for a change. I thought about teaching, but realised my heart wasn't in it, not in the way it is about getting children outside, feeling free and enjoying nature.
I have two of my own children, and I love seeing how they flourish in the outdoors, how logs spark games, and tiredness and grumpy moods get forgotten.
I finished my Forest School Leader training in 2021 and started working with the Family Learning School in Catford in 2022.
​
I have Forest School Leader NVQ Level 3, a Paediatric First Aid qualification, I am DBS checked and fully insured.
