Planning a Visit

One you have made a booking we will arrange a convenient time for you to meet with us to discuss your objectives and create a suitable programme of activites (see below) and fieldwork sites. To help us do this please complete and return the planning form to us prior to our meeting.

Key Stage 2

Our activites are cross-curricular and support a variety fo subjects including geography, science, english, history, citizenship, mathematics, art & design, design & technology and PSHE. For details of activites we offer please click on the above Key Stage 2 link. Our programmes are very much 'holistic' with an emphasis on participation, green lifestyles, cooperation and respect for both people and places.  Visiting children can become involved with cooking, clearing up, gardening and Eco-Centre tasks. 

'A' Level

The courses we offer 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.

Our residential courses have a number of outcomes:

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 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.

Other Groups (e.g. special interest, junior youth groups, Universities, Adult Education) may also hire the Centre subject to availability. These can be on a Centre taught or self taught basis.Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
