Do look at our 2008 course list,  and please do telephone or send us an email to book a visit.

Once you have made a firm booking, please go to the downloads page and download the day visits information pack.

Please make sure the children have wellington boots or suitable shoes. This is very important as it is nearly always muddy at Thornham.

If your class is at Key Stage 2, please could they bring a clip board and pencil. 

Please make sure that the children wear suitable clothes.  Long trousers are recommended to protect legs from scratches from brambles or being stung by nettles.  Warm coats in winter, sun hats and cream in summer.

Please make sure that the children and parents are told in good time about the need to bring a "low impact packed lunch"  - accompanying adults too!  The rubbish from packed lunches will be separated into compostable and rubbish which will end up in a landfill site.  The landfill rubbish will be weighed and we will produce a bar chart comparing the last ten schools to visit Thornham. It is possible to leave no rubbish at all.  We have found that now more and more schools leave zero rubbish, a huge achievement.  Some schools make their own recycled lunch boxes, have a look at some pictures.

Your school will be invoiced after your visit.  Please make sure that your Thornham tutor is told the exact numbers of children you bring on the day for invoice purposes.

Please make sure that the adults you bring with you know which children they are responsible for. That they know they are responsible for discipline and that they are made aware of any risks involved with the courses you have chosen for your class. 

Safety is of the utmost importance to us at Thornham.  If you would like to come and do your own risk assessments of your trip, do telephone to make an appointment and we will help you in every way possible.

We hope that you enjoy your day.  Our aim is to make your trip an excellent educational and enjoyable experience for you and your class. We appreciate that bringing a group on a trip is a huge responsibility, we aim to ensure that you the teachers, enjoy the day, can stand back and observe your class being taught by someone else.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need to know about any aspect of your trip.
