Primary Schools

Each year we welcome thousands of Primary School students for School Tours and Discover Primary Science & Maths (DPSM) Days. Research shows that nature connection through outdoor play, learning and adventure is invaluable for the developing child and our woodland environment is the ideal setting.

We will work with you to put together a memorable day for you and your students. We have lots of exciting adventure activities to choose from along with our SESE (Social, Environmental and Scientific Education) curriculum-based activities. Primary School Programming is available September-June. We book up fast for School Tour season so get in touch to secure your preferred date and preferred activities!

As an accredited SFI Discover Centre, our DPSM activities focus on the investigation skills, the scientific-method, active data collection and problem-solving. Participation in these activities can go towards the Awards of Science and Maths Excellence.
