Whether you teach tertiary students or at Key Stage 1 & 2, the Centre can offer just the right practical activities to suit you. Individual days can be tailored to meet your needs whether you need to do Art or carry out some transect work at Advanced level.

For those involved in teaching secondary and tertiary students it can be difficult to find easily accessible local areas to demonstrate concepts such as competition and succession, or to practise biological sampling methods. The Centre also provides an introduction to the natural world which is particularly suitable for GCSE. For A level Geography and Biogeography, this can be combined with a look at human influence on the landscape. This particular line of enquiry makes use not only of the Centre but also visits nearby commercial forestry and farmland.

For Primary schools the Centre provides a range of practical activities which have been developed since 1986. A group can look at the natural processes as outlined in the Curriculum. After all, the natural world is where the topics you have to teach such as food chains, decomposition, growth and the nutrient cycle actually take place.

Don't forget to ask about our IT support. For Primary schools there are floppy discs to take away. Secondary and tertiary schools will want to visit our website which has significantly expanded year on year so point your browser at http://members.aol.com/offwell1.

The Centre now has a range of audio visual equipment including micro video cameras which are strategically placed around the reserve. There are also comprehensive reports, including before and after photographs, on the unique range of habitat restoration and management projects which have taken place over the years. more information.
