During your visit your class will work in three rotating groups. One group will be given a tour of the facility whilst the other two groups will be working on other activities in the classroom. Each group will need to be supervised by one of your staff and, or supporting adults. Ensure you have the correct staffing ratios – minimum three adults. At least two staff and, or supporting adults will supervise the activities in the classroom whilst one staff and, or supporting adult accompanies the touring group with the facilitator.
Welfare facilities are provided and we create an exclusive zone within the visitor centre for the students, to comply with our safeguarding policy.
