Courses

We offer an active and investigative approach to learning in, about and for the environment which is fun and extends students' experience, appreciation and understanding of the world in which they live.

Key Stage 2 courses support National Curriculum Science, History and Geography requirements and can tie in closely with the QCA schemes of work. They also give opportunities for using and developing key skills and concepts in 'real life' situations.

'A' Level courses cover the basic sampling and statistical techniques of fieldwork in 'classic' environments, equipping students with the necessary skills and concepts for extended coursework investigations. They also give first hand experience of processes, habitats and landscapes providing the vital link between textbook theory and reality.

Residential Courses of 3 - 5 days duration are available throughout the year. Programmes are designed by Centre staff in partnership with school staff to support the topics, schemes of work or syllabuses being taught in school. Choose from a wide range of carefully formulated options or ask for a 'tailor made' alternative to meet your groups specific PSE and learning needs.

During residential courses students benefit from:
· Stimulating and motivating learning opportunities
· The chance to explore, discover and investigate, linking first hand experience to classroom theory
· Time to undertake extended pieces of work
· Time to have fun together
· Opportunities for personal and social development
· A chance to develop new skills and competencies
· Shared experiences between teacher and students
· A chance to 'shine' in new ways

Day Courses are also offered at Wells Field Study Centre covering a wide range of topics tailored to your requirements.
