school visits...

Schools are always welcome at Fenscape and we can offer a great day out packed with educational fun. Our location within the Festival Gardens brings an added dimension to our outdoor educational programme, and in May 2007 a new sensory garden was opened offering even more.

The attraction offers a full and comprehensive educational programme for primary and secondary schools as well as community groups and can take groups of up to 60 children depending on requirements. All workshops with Fenscape have been designed to develop Personal and Key Skills associated with the National Curriculum whilst offering a core set of educational products.  Programmes can also be tailored to suit specific needs. 

A qualified education officer will be on hand, if required, to run sessions and provide support and teaching material and can plan a visit to suit a schools needs, liaising with nearby attractions and the Spalding Water Taxi.  The modern and interactive education room situated within the building is available for workshops and comes with an interactive whiteboard and four online computers which adds a further dimension to any school visit.

Finally Fenscape is proud to be able to offer schools the opportunity to use the Virtual Seed CD-Rom, an interactive computer programme that enables children to grow a Virtual Seed and look at habitats and wildlife in the Fens.

Arrangements can be made for children to eat at the site at a special price and facilities are available for children bringing packed lunches.  Prices vary depending on the programme and requirements.

Educational Visits will need to be pre-arranged, for more information or to book a visit please call Fenscape on 01775 764800 or email fenscape@bydesign-group.co.uk
