Woodlands for Learning at Grizedale

 

At Grizedale we can offer a range of exciting curriculum linked activities for all key stages that will be based from our newly built Resource Centre. 

Situated in the south of the Lake District, Grizedale will be able to offer a combination of indoor and outdoor learning facilities within a forest environment.

Links to National Curriculum

To help teachers we have produced two  guides, Key stage 1&2 and Key stage 3&4,  which describe how we can link opportuntities for the study of trees and forests to the national curriculum. These form the basis of activities that we run with groups as part of a Ranger led visit to the forest.

Higher Education

In addition to primary and secondary education we are able to offer activities for higher education groups including A-level and University students. We can offer a range of topics including Tourism, Recreation, Ecology and Forestry. 

Facilities

Revised details of our facilities, including our new Community Resource Centre will be published on this webpage during summer 2008.

Working in Partnership

From April 2008 we are  reviewing our Education Service Programmes and would be interested in hearing from schools in looking at the potential of of partnership working in the production of joint education programmes covering:

• Coursework
• Work experience
• Physical activities in a natural environment
• Art in the outdoors
• Outreach initiatives

In addition we are open to other community groups, organisations and agencies who work with excluded, disadvantaged or vulnerable adults from both urban and rural areas.
