School Curriculum Booking Information
Autumn 2024 Curriculum now booking
Our Autumn curriculum is now open for booking at the links below. Whether you are hoping to explore electricity at the STEM centre or explore seasonal food at the education garden, there will be something to amaze and excite your pupils!
Pupil Numbers
We can accomodate a maximum of 32 primary or 20 secondary pupils per booking (12 for Future Textiles programmes), this ensures we keep the quality of our pupil engagement high and enables us to work closely with each pupil throughout the day. This applies for single or split centre bookings. For groups of more than 32 pupils you will need to make multiple bookings, so will need to book dates when multiple centres are avaliable.
Workshop Costs
We charge a £4.50 per pupil, per day, fee to cover the costs of our materials for Primary School workshops and activities. In the majority of cases our Secondary School workshops are free of charge. See our Curriculum Documents below for more information on our charges.
Available Dates
All available School and Future Textiles day visit dates, up until October, can be found at the booking links below. Unfortunately if your preferred date is not listed it is no longer available. For multi-day programmes, or Secondary School Bookings contact dh.education@kings-foundation.org for availability.
