What we offer for school visits

Our Farm Education Centre programme has been designed around curriculum based modules by Elaine Smith, who has over 20 years of experience as both a teacher and a dairy farmer. Elaine works with teachers to provide pre-visit planning, lesson plans based on the modules of your choice, and take the lead educator role for your pupils on the day.

Visits are available for teachers with pupils in Key Stages 1 & 2, and modules are broken down by subject and year group.

Lancashire Farm Education Centre is OFSTEAD registers, and team members are DBS checked.  We provide visit planning information, risk assessment documentation, plus insurance for your visit.
