Forest School Shop — eCommerce for Outdoor Education Supplies
Forest School Shop is the official UK supplier of Forest School equipment, trusted for 20+ years by schools, holiday parks, scouting groups, nature charities and outdoor leaders. Now part of Oaks Online Shopping Company Ltd, the brand is known for a unique, ever-evolving range that’s keenly priced to support tight education budgets.
We designed and built their new (2025) eCommerce website to make sourcing kit fast and reliable on any device. The store handles everything from everyday essentials to specialist tools, with a checkout that stays compliant and convenient for busy educators. For products that require it, we implemented a smooth age-verification flow so customers can purchase regulated items confidently and securely.
To support larger organisations, we added trade functionality that fits how procurement teams actually buy: customers can apply for a trade account, access exclusive pricing, and place purchase orders via email, with flexible terms available for approved buyers. The result is a store that’s easy for individuals and robust enough for bulk ordering across multiple sites and teams.
Highlights you'll see in the project:
Compliant age verification for restricted products
Trade accounts with exclusive pricing and purchase-order support
Fast, mobile-first browsing and clear category navigation
Content and product detail designed around teaching goals
Scalable eCommerce built for high-volume orders
