Due to funding cutbacks, we no longer have permanent education staff based at the centre. However we are able to book a freelance educator, subject to availability. Our workshops cover the statutory content of the Key Stage 1 & 2 National Curriculum in subjects such as Science and Art & Design. Some workshops may also incorporate other subjects. If there should be a specific subject you would like us to cover, or if you have a workshop request, please contact us.
