Education visits

The Learning and Discovery Team offers a range of activities to support learning, working with many different organisations and institutions, from schools and youth groups to family and community groups.

We deliver Primary school day visits from our three centres at Longdendale, Longshaw and Macclesfield Forest, and Secondary school fieldwork visits at various locations across the National Park.

Please note that there is limited availability remaining for Spring/Summer 2025 and we would recommend getting any enquiries into us as soon as possible.

Our team can also visit your site to deliver activities in your own school setting.

Our programmes aim to inspire you to love the Peak District National Park as much as we do. All our work will promote understanding of the National Park by providing creative and inspirational experiences that will help you discover the special qualities of the place.

Evaluation

We assess learning using a variety of techniques appropriate to the age and ability of the pupils and the type of activity such as: questioning, questioning games, observing how well children are performing tasks, checking results, quizzes and feedback forms. All group leaders will be asked to complete a feedback form after their visit. We hope you will find time to do this as we use this information to improve our programmes
