We are thrilled to share the exciting updates to our School Visits program at Cotswold Farm Park!
We have transformed Dolly's cabin space into a vibrant and welcoming area, perfectly suited to host school groups of up to 60 children.
Prepare for an immersive and educational experience like never before, with enhanced activities, increased animal interaction, improved organisation, and a greater emphasis on learning!
Tailored Educational Workshop:
All school groups, from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 3, will receive a 45-minute talk customised to suit their relevant age group.
Our expert team will cover a range of topics related to Cotswold Farm Park and farming on a broader scale.
For groups beyond Key Stage 3, please reach out to us as we can accommodate educational visits up to degree level.
While we don't provide a specific talk for nurseries or playgroups, you can still book a visit as a school group.
Pre-Visit Learning Material:
To prepare your students for the visit, we offer downloadable resources that align with the educational talk and what you will discover during your time at Cotswold Farm Park.
These materials can be utilised in the classroom before your trip, enhancing the learning experience.
Pre-Visit Teacher Familiarisation:
We welcome up to 4 adults to visit our park in advance of the booking, allowing you to familiarise yourselves with the surroundings.
While it is absolutely fine to arrive on the day without prior familiarisation, we understand the value of this opportunity for some group leaders.
Designed to be both educational and enjoyable.
Whether it's exploring the play equipment, embarking on a treasure hunt in the woodlands, or participating in animal identification "bingo" on the rare breeds trail, we have created activities that provide a blend of learning and fun.
For the self-led activities, we provide comprehensive information packs to ensure you have all the necessary guidance to make the most of your visit.
You won't have to wonder about what to do next or the correct way to feed a goat.
We have taken care of all the details.
To extend the learning experience beyond the park, we provide activities and supplementary information for discussion in the classroom after your visit.
This allows students to continue their educational journey even after they have left Cotswold Farm Park. See 'Explorify' below.
We provide a map to assist you in navigating the park, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for both teachers and students.
A dedicated indoor lunch area is provided for your group, allowing you to enjoy your packed lunches comfortably.
We provide ample animal feed for all the children, ensuring our goats and sheep are well-fed and happy throughout your visit.
Immerse your students in an engaging and educational experience at Cotswold Farm Park, where learning meets fun.
With our comprehensive School Visits program, we aim to create memorable moments, foster curiosity, and inspire a deeper understanding of farming, animals, and the countryside.

These can be found by searching for Cotswold Farm Park in the search bar.
These would compliment your trip perfectly after visiting, but you can complete any of them at any time.
