Education

We place a great emphasis on Education to both school and the general public visiting the Park.

We offer many activities to schools which is relevant to their Key Stage work and is based on learning whilst having fun!

Teachers have the opportunity to visit the Park prior to an educational visit and will receive a full pack when they make a booking.

The day of the visit is tailored to group requirements and can include wildlife behaviour, how we help our environment, nature trails and lots of other subjects.

The itinerary is packed full of activities when children can take part in discussion and ask questions.

The group will have the use of a study room equipped with materials for project work and a Guide will look after you during the course of your visit.

Educational activities costs £6.00 per child, with one supervising adult free with every 5 children. Extra adults are charged at £7.50. Teachers/Group Leaders are welcome to a free pre-visit.

We pride ourselves on our Education programme.

Relevant to any Key Stage and project being studied it can be adapted and differentiated to suit all abilities.

Teachers are welcome to visit the Park prior to the school visit.

We provide two study rooms for the children during their visit .

Teachers and pupils leave after a whole day out, full of information and very tired, having spent most of the day outside.

Many return with their parents to be at such close proximity to the animals once again.

Visiting Groups

We offer a fully guided tour and we will structure your day to meet the specific requirements of your group.

Whilst our talks and tours relate to aspects of the National Curriculum we aim to enthuse and inspire the children about wildlife and the natural environment in general.

A visit would help the children to develop their understanding of habitats, adaptation, colour and shape, night and day, life processes, classification, and food chains. They would become more aware of issues surrounding environmental change and the need for conservation.

For our full Teacher’s Welcome Pack containing information to help with the planning of a visit, background information about the animals and a full risk assessment PDF click here or by telephone on 01298 814099.

We look forward to welcoming you to the park.

Fully Guided Visit

An experienced member of staff will stay with your group throughout your visit and will take you on a conducted tour of the park. The Education Centre will be available for your use, where your group will be able to leave belongings and have lunch if required.

If you wish to extend your visit, you may use the Education Centre for a teaching session to reinforce the experiences gained from the tour.

This session should be teacher- led, but your Guide will be on hand for advice and to support your activities.

Pencils, crayons, etc are available for your use.

Price £6.00 per child. One supervising adult is admitted free with every 5 paying children.
Extra adults are charged at £7.50.
