National Trust sites in Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex have many stories to tell whether they be the life cycle of a rare butterfly to the tale of the laundry maid.
Let us be your outdoor classroom and inspire your students to think beyond the school gate and create their own response to these very special places.
On site learning staff will work with you to deliver your learning aims and objectives for your visit, ensuring a safe, enjoyable and cost-effective day. Curriculum related activities we can offer include: handling collections, tours in costume, role play, hot seating, habitat discovery, and teacher’s resources.
Our programmes are only the starting point.
