School Incursions
Primary School Incursions
Primary School incursions have many benefits over school excursions: we come to you leaving behind the cost of transport and the stress, they are curriculum relevant, safe, fun, easy to organize and there is minimal disruption to the school day.
Our incursions have a very high educational value with a duration of approx. 2 hours to suit the school timetable. We can have up to 70 students per session and we require a large space, preferable the school hall. For larger groups we run the program in two separated sessions and two days for more than 140 children.
Insurances, WWCC, risk assessment and covid-19 safe plan available upon request.
