Learning Outside the Classroom (LOTC) has come along way in the past 5 years and the Country Parks Education team have become a leading provider. The days of visiting a park for Pond dipping or to enhance the habitats unit are long gone! We cover nearly every subject in the curriculum and if you are working on a topic we will do our best to show it can be done outside. Maths, Literacy, DT and Physics we do it all. New days are added each year such as Kensukes Kingdom Adventure Day and The Very Hungry Caterpillar this year. We still run the popular favourites such as the Gruffalo Experience and the Pirate Day challenge. I hope this shows the diversity that we are able to offer.

Why choose Country Parks Education for your next visit?

The Education staff are experienced and knowledgeable outdoor educators who always teach outside and will support staff with ongoing activities.

Your class come for the day and the Education Ranger will stay with you throughout.

We understand the constraints that teachers are under and do our best to match the activities to the topic based/creative curriculum that you maybe following at school. We will provide you with all of the planning and health & safety documents you need.

We provide a simple booking process that maintains continuity from beginning to end.

We are up to date with matters relating to the curriculum and teaching trends.

The teaching is never dry. Its fun, active and most importantly memorable.

Our aim is for every visitor on a school trip regardless of age to experience learning in a natural environment. Whether that is learning about our amazing local green spaces or taking away a whole load of activities to do with your class back as school. We never stop learning.

We are happy to support schools in their LOTC requirements so if you feel your school could do more either on or off the school grounds call us we look forward to hearing from you.

We look forward to sharing our open spaces with you.
