Primary School Farm Visit

Bring learning outdoors - Visit our community farm

Harrow Farm offers a range of national-curriculum linked activities for primary school children, including:

• Nature scavenger trails
• Minibeast identification hunts
• Leaf and flower identification
• Seed ball making or seed planting (to take home)
• Animal habitat building
• Transect surveying
• Map making and navigation
• Nature art
• Poetry-writing and storytelling

Our Education Lead works closely with local schools to tailor visits to your individual needs.

Our visits tend to:

• Last for 2.5-3 hours
• Be for one class group of 30 children at a time
• Include 2 x 45 min national curriculum linked activities: One on sustainability and biodiversity, and one of the school's choice related to a curriculum subject.
• Include time for nature connection and 'just being' outdoors
• Include time for the children to have a picnic with their packed lunches

Visits are free to primary schools

Visits will be fully subsidised by Harrow School and free to primary schools. We will provide risk assessments, activity plans and resources, and pre-visit information.
