We’re proud to be able to host regular Home Educator Days at Godstone Farm, these are a brilliant opportunity for some outside learning and to encourage a love of nature and the outdoors.
Led by our educational team, these engaging and interactive days are run in conjunction with the National Curriculum to deliver educational and fun sessions for you and your families! The learning objectives for KS1 and KS2 will be provided to you on the day, via a welcome leaflet, outlining the planned activities and the time and location.
