About our school day visit programme
Our day visit programme for schools is offered on a seasonal cycle with opportunities to spend time with the various animals including cows, sheep, geese, ducks, turkeys, hens and pigs.
Pupils will be able to understand where their food comes as well as how the by-products such as wool are used.
Pupils will develop a sense of empathy as they spend time with the animals and many pupils find the experience positive for their mental wellbeing as they develop an understanding of our senses and how we interact with and react to the world around us.
Linked activity day packages are available to broaden pupils’ understanding of the principles of sustainable food and farming with our Education Garden or STEM centre.
We cater for class sizes up to 30, for primary schools and 20 for secondary, with a minimum booking of 15 and 12 respectively. Materials are currently charged at £5.50 per child for primary schools. Secondary school workshops are free.
Duration: Various dates available throughout the academic year.
Times and days: From 10am until 2pm (3pm for Secondary pupils) Tuesday to Friday
