RSPB Pulborough Brooks


Supporting curriculum-based learning outdoors

Description

Immerse your class in hands-on learning with an educational school visit to our fabulous nature reserve. Our sessions are led by RSPB education professionals who are specialists in their field and able to engage all abilities, while helping you meet your learning objectives.

It's a great opportunity to inspire your children to talk about their science and geography learning while fully engaging in the great outdoors.
- Curriculum linked half or full day sessions
- Varied and well-paced sessions
- Get pupils working scientifically and using technical vocabulary in context
- Build pupils’ resilience and character
- Potential for ongoing learning back in the classroom

The river Arun runs through the reserve and we are able to take pupils right down to the riverside for a range of river studies, along with hands-on investigations of life in our ponds and ditches. There is so much to discover, making Pulborough Brooks ideal for children to explore and find out more about wildlife and nature.

We've got a visitor centre with indoor space available for classes, a wildlife garden and wildflower meadow, and much more for you to explore!

Very well organised. (June 2022)




Great space and beautiful surroundings. Cannot fault the staff and volunteers who worked with the children. Activities were quite long and could have been made shorter or we could have done another activity in the time we were there. (October 2021 - Primary School)
