PRIMARY SCHOOL TRIPS

At Primary stage, we have two aims - to EDUCATE and to INSPIRE.
 
In today's tech filled world, it's getting increasingly harder to get students off  the screens and out into nature, to learn about the world around us in "real time". Our aim is to pass on exciting knowledge about the topic we're teaching, and also to inspire young people to spend more time in nature, to exercise outdoors more and to appreciate the amazing spaces that are all around us - all delivered in a fun and exciting day out they'll remember for years!
 

Read on for some of our popular Primary school trip ideas, or if you have a trip idea in mind already contact us
