Environmental Education Programmes for
Nursery, Pre-School, Reception, Primary and Secondary School Visits
Capel Manor College is Greater London’s only specialist College of Horticulture, Environmental Conservation, Animal Care, Floristry, Saddlery, Garden Design and Arboriculture (Tree Surgery) with gardens fully open to the public. For over thirty years Capel Manor has been providing school visits based on a variety of programmes. All of which are led by our team of highly skilled and experienced staff.
What schools can expect from us:
- Well structured outdoor education programmes with a biogeography theme providing a focus for learning within the whole curriculum: from nursery to A-level;
- Programmes tailored to the teacher’s needs, for example whether they need help with plant life, animal life or ecological surveys. These can be carried out at Capel Manor, the farm or river, all offering a ‘hands-on’ approach to bring teaching to life. We also have tailored programmes linked to year 10 & 11 curricula in subjects such as English, Science, Media Art and History plus others;
- Information about how to make your school more environmentally aware and about creating habitats;
- 30 acres of ‘themed’ and demonstration gardens, such as the Elizabethan Knot Garden, the Victorian Garden and the Walled Garden;
- Woodland, areas and ponds;
- A team of dedicated, expert staff, to lead your visit and ensure a high quality experience for your pupils;
- Free car and coach parking (limited space on busy days);
- All our programmes are designed to make best use of Capel Manor as a resource and to provide a stimulating, informative and imaginative approach to learning. However, we do recommend that only one theme is followed per visit. One activity can fulfil your pupil’s needs.
- Disabled access around most parts of the estate including toilets and restaurant with ramps and firm surfaces where possible. There are a limited number of wheelchairs available to borrow and must be reserved in advance to avoid disappointment. Audio loops are located at the main reception.
