Environmental Education - Booking

Planning a safe visit
There must be a minimum ratio of 1:6 adult to child supervision, and we ask that children dress suitably for the weather: i.e. trousers and trainers/sensible shoes, suncream and sunhats in Summer, warm clothes and waterproofs in Winter.

Transport
Are you looking for a safe, economical way to transport your school group to the Country Parks? Why not try our School Links service.

The high quality coaches seat up to 70 and are fitted with three point seat belts and CCTV cameras. All the drivers have been specially trained for the School Links service, and wear uniform and identity badges.

Coaches can be hired between 9:00 am and 2:30 pm on school days, and are also available during evenings, weekends and school holidays.

For more information, please contact the School Links Manager.
