Using our inspiring landscape as inspiration for a series of workshops and activities, the Arboretum’s learning team has ensured both the National Curriculum and Ofsted Education Inspection Framework are central to the content delivered.
We have a range of full day and half day activities available suitable for Key Stages 1 and 2, including interactive indoor sessions and outdoor walks.
From interactive Explorer Days, to tailored grounds tours or participation in an Act of Remembrance, we have lots for Key Stages 3 and 4 to so here at the Arboretum.
Schools are welcome to visit the site and deliver their own learning activities. Visits can include self-led tours of the Arboretum and exploration of our free exhibitions, including Landscapes of Life. We kindly request that anyone wishing to do a self-led visit still informs us of their arrival beforehand, by booking your coach in using our online portal below. Please note this is for Self-Led bookings only, to book sessions and packages please use our booking form or speak to the Learning Team.
