We offer tailored talks around all aspects of the farm, predominantly livestock and how to care for animals, plus helping children develop an understanding of how farming fits into the wider world. A dedicated member of staff will take the children through your chosen activities which involves moving across our 45 acre site. Plus a chance for Q&A as you go!
Our site is set within the beautiful rolling Surrey Hills, and we therefore have acess to nature and wildlife every single day. Much of the visit will be structured however we allow free time for children and teachers to explore. Our staff can offer advise of where to go bug hunting, and what birds and wildlife to look out for. For a specific interest in Wildlife or conservation please ask us in advance of your visit.
In our schools garden we look at how food can be grown from a tiny seed to a fruit. Or if you are more interested in our pigs, cows or sheep we can talk to your class about responsible and fair farming practices.
We have a wonderful Dinosaur Roar trail which we offer as a self led activity. Created in conjunction with the Natural History Museum this is a fantastic addition to your Farm visit. Why not tie this in with a bird talk so we can compare and contrast the development and differences of both!
Absolutely - we offer an SEND schools package that is particularly tailored to children with additional needs and our Education Lead has a background in SEND. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any specific enquiries. We offer a separate session for SEND classes allowing you to have the morning to adjust and explore the farm and after lunch you have the opportunity to access two sessions- animal interactions and an animal feeding session. These will be led by a member of our Education Team.
The staff at Godstone Farm have been sharing their knowledge with school children for more than forty years. Our excellent schools package offers incredible value for money together with flexibility according to your requirements. We pride ourselves on being fully interactive and encouraging a love of learning and particularly an interest in the life outdoors.
Our schools program has been specially designed to compliment subjects you are covering in the classroom, mixed with embracing the outdoor life and enabling pupils to learn about and get close to animals that they may not often encounter.
Introduce your class to over five hundred animals here on the farm and let them discover and explore within a safe and welcoming environment.
