Education Days
We offer a variety of structured educational activity days, for 3-11 year olds, set around environmental and science topics that are closely linked to the guidance for Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum.
We aim to give all our visitors the opportunity to value, enjoy and understand more about their environment, and this runs throughout our activities, linking in with PHSE and Citizenship Education. We also support schools working towards being the Healthy Schools Standard and Sustainable Schools.
If you have a particular topic or activity you would like us to cover, we would also be delighted to run other sessions linked to environmental art, language, or more informal activities such as paper making, puppetry and mask work. Please for a chat if you are interested.
Arranging a Session
Sessions are
FREE for schools in Leeds and Wakefield and normally run from 10:00am to 2:30pm, or in two hour blocks for foundation stage (nursery) sessions. The session will be set up and run by the project team, but schools are expected to provide supervision and support. If you would like to book a session we strongly advise a preliminary visit.
Is it Safe?
BTCV works to a
Health and Safety Procedure on Safeguarding the Welfare of Children and Other Vulnerable Groups, and has achieved the
Leeds ABC Quality Mark Level 2 Award. As a matter of policy we can only work with other organisations if they have an equivalent code or policy for the protection of child safety and welfare. All activities we run have been fully assessed for safety with risk assessments carried out. For more information visit our
Safety Policies page.
