We can tailor sessions for every age of student, ranging from nursery to degree level.

Our current offer includes:

Years 2 to 4
Plants and animals and their habitats

The Centre is a great place to study ecology: on this site we can contrast Creek, pond and terrestrial habitat all on the same site. We can cover habitats, food chains, and adaptations.
QCA Science Unit 2B Plants and animals in the local environment;
QCA Science Unit 4B Habitats.

Years 5 and 6
Rivers and the water cycle

We are able to offer a low tide river walk (or a land-based walk if tidal conditions are not suitable). Other activities may include: field sketching, measuring flow rates, collecting and observing Creek animals, 'River of Life' floor-based interactive game, map studies, or building a sewage plant in plastic bottle.
QCA Geography Unit 11 Water;
QCA Geography Unit 14 Investigating rivers.

Secondary

We are able to offer a low tide river walk (or a land-based walk if tidal conditions are not suitable). We can run a range of geography and science fieldwork activities. The site also lends itself to specialist ecology sessions, and to wider curriculum areas such as citizenship.

Costs

Full day school sessions normally run 10.00 am - 2.30 pm. A full day costs £180.00. Half-day school sessions (2 - 2.5 hours in morning or afternoon) cost £100.00. We take one class (generally up to 30 students) at a time. Sessions tailored for other education groups (e.g. undergraduates, adults) may be priced differently. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
