Supervision
We recommend a ratio of 1 adult to 6 pupils for all groups with children aged eleven or under to make the visit educationally effective and safe. For children under eight, this ratio is essential. For pupils over the age of eight, a minimum of 1 adult per 10 children is necessary.
Special needs
Our activities are aimed at being accessible to everyone and we offer fieldwork and resources adapted to a range of special needs. Wheelchair access may be difficult at some sites. It is important that prior to a visit you discuss with us any special needs your pupils have.
