Key Stage 1 and 2

Plant identificationOur education sites have extensive and high quality woodland, grassland and freshwater environments. The broad range of habitats enables pupils to progressively explore their diversity, adaptations and structure from year to year.

Our staff facilitate agreed learning objectives through themed activities, designed to engage the children and meet their learning needs.
