For sessions in the parks
1. Essential information
Here are the key things you need to know before your visit to us.
Our school sessions normally run between 10.00-12.00 and 13.00-15.00. However, we are happy to be as flexible as we can on timings, so please discuss this with us at the time of booking. Sessions for Early Years Foundation Stage last 90 minutes but you are welcome to continue using the centre facilities (eg for snack breaks and toilets) within the above timings that you've booked.
Your students will spend the whole session in our enclosed gardens and/or the wider park. Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure your students are prepared with appropriate clothing for these outdoor activities.
We will ask your group to eat lunch out in the park if possible. If the weather will not be conducive to this, please contact us in the days before your visit and we will endeavour to arrange a lunch space which is situated under cover.
If you need to make special arrangements for students with physical disabilities/special needs please contact us for more information.
Please follow these adult to student ratios to supervise your group:
| Key stage | Minimum adult : pupil ratio |
| Early years foundation stage | 1:4 |
| Key stage 1 and 2 | 1:6 |
| Key stage 3 | 1:8 |
| Key stage 4 and 5+ | 1:10 |
| Special educational needs | 1:1 to 1:3 depending on group |
You’ll receive full details including risk assessments when you book your visit. Alternatively, if you need a copy of these in advance, please contact us and we’ll send them over to you.
