There is a qualified and experienced teacher (Sue Leslie) based at Woodgate Valley, who works in partnership with the Ranger Service to provide educational activities for schools. Sessions are based inside the classroom and outside in the Valley, and are linked to the National Curriculum.
Half-day teaching sessions can be booked on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. There are some whole-day teaching sessions available (October to March only). It is also possible to book whole days where the teacher (Sue Leslie) leads half a day, and the class teacher or a Ranger leads the other half-day.
