The reserve and Field Centre are popular with school groups looking for a varied and interesting educational visit.

A normal visit would cover two 'topics' in the morning, and two in the afternoon. A typical group of 30 children, divided into four groups, would cover various aspects of the chosen field of study. Study periods will generally involve field work, and follow-up work in the Field Centre.

A varied programme of tuition is available, including environmental sciences, botany, zoology, palaeontology, geology and astronomy. Programmes can be tailored to the needs of teachers, and are designed to match the needs of the national curriculum.

The Field Centre has facilities to suit all ages, levels and abilities, and is equipped for disabled access. There is also a picnic area, toilet and shop. If wet, the entire programme can be held indoors.

Charges for school visits are £2.00 per student. Teachers and class-room assistants are admitted without charge. The cost includes warden assistance and full facilities.
