Farm Education Workshops - All Stages
Our day visit programme for schools is offered on a seasonal cycle with opportunities to spend time with the various animals including cows, sheep, geese, ducks, turkeys, hens and pigs.
Pupils will be able to understand where their food comes as well as how the by-products, such as wool, are used.
Pupils will develop a sense of empathy as they spend time with the animals and many pupils find the experience positive for their mental wellbeing as they develop an understanding of our senses and how we interact with and react to the world around us.
Our school education workshops support the delivery of The Curriculum for Excellence, and many of our activities are based outdoors on our 2000 acre estate, making use of our natural spaces to inspire learning. The King's Foundation works in harmony with the natural world, and as such our workshops also touch upon the UN Sustainable Development goals and support learning for sustainability.
