Legoland Windsor

The resort is an exciting venue for learning outside the classroom and most suitable for Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 5 pupils – although there are experiences available for pre-school and younger school pupils. Schools can use a National Curriculum Map to navigate their way around the resort, making sure they tie in all of their learning objectives whilst they enjoy over 55 rides and attractions.

Pupils visiting the park can also take part in one of the varied curriculum focused workshops to experience a fun hands-on and engaging session hosted by trained educational staff.

The workshops are led by the award winning Education Team. They are finely tuned to complement the National Curriculum – with a LEGO® twist. Pupils can learn about STEM, English, Art, Geography and Computing to name but a few.

Staff at LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort go above and beyond to make sure that planning a visit is as easy as possible. The resort provides a number of resources on its website to help teachers prepare for their school trip. Teachers can download permission slips to send home to parents and access a Risk Assessment form. There is also information regarding Teacher to Student Ratios and Ride Height & Age Restrictions to assist in pre-planning for the day.

Other workshops suitable for Primary and Secondary pupils include:

Around the World: Pupils identify and locate the earth’s continents and oceans on the bespoke LEGO® map. Ideal for Key Stage 1-2 students, linked to Geography, the session explores famous landmarks, animals and buildings.

Underwater Creatures: Dive into the amazing underwater world of the Atlantis Submarine Voyage during this workshop for KS 1&2. Students learn about the characteristics of underwater creatures and their habitats.

LEGO® Castle Builder: Linked to KS1 Design & Technology, pupils design and construct their own LEGO® Brick castle following the key principles of a sound structural design.

LEGO®, Camera, Action: Students collaborate and create their very own LEGO® Movie in this workshop. It links to Computing and English for Key Stage 2 and 3 with pupils working in pairs to show understanding of computer design within a creative environment.

School groups planning a visit in 2020 should also look out for our new ride in DUPLO Valley, the DUPLO Dream Coaster. Opening in March and designed for 2 to 5 year olds, riders will be “swooping through a topsy turvy wonderland full of colour and a sprinkle of magic, and can be sure to will meet all sorts of cool creatures along the way…”

The LEGOLAND Windsor Resort is all about allowing students of all ages to engage and explore through creative and imaginative play. The Resort’s offer of theme park rides and attractions combined with interactive educational workshops makes it a perfect destination for school teachers seeking somewhere engaging to take a school trip.
