Low Luckens Organic Resource Centre


Education at Low Luckens

Summer Visits

At Low Luckens we aim to provide the link between people and the food they eat as well as promoting conservation, sustainability and wildlife.

We offer a wide range of experiences including the opportunities to find out about where food comes from, to value and enjoy the natural environment and to work together.

We can provide a range of programmes linked to the National Curriculum. Concepts such as food chains which can only be talked about in a classroom come to life in a woodland; the journey of a river can be followed from spring to confluence; life cycles can be seen in plants and animals; the natural environment can be used to stimulate ideas in art and writing – the possibilities are endless.

Information for Teachers

·        Teachers are welcome to make a preliminary visit to the centre and farm to meet the centre staff and look around.

·        All visits are pre-planned by you and the Education Development Officer (an experienced teacher) either at the centre or at your school.

·        The Education Development Officer will draw up a programme for the day which will be sent to you before the visit for confirmation of your requirements.

·        On the day of your visit you will be accompanied by the Education Development Officer and other members of the centre staff where appropriate (e.g. farmer).

·        There are risk assessments in place for most activities at the centre. These can be discussed at your preliminary visit.

·        Discipline is the responsibility of the teacher and not centre staff. Children are expected to behave appropriately, particularly near animals and farm machinery.

·        The cost for schools not participating in one of our programmes is £2 per child

·        For further in formation contact the Centre Educational Development Officer at:  016977 48186
