"Teaching session led by the education officer was excellent - the children were enthralled!!"

"The pupils all enjoyed the whole day and gained so much from actually seeing the animals, and the session."

"Teaching sessions were an excellent introduction to the day and our subsequent work."

About us

Marwell has had an Education Department since 1982. Originally it was based in Marwell Hall and the grand rooms there were used as classrooms. Nowadays we have a purpose built Conservation Education Centre which is the focus of much of our work. The centre was built using environmentally friendly materials, including low and zero emission paints, double glazing in sustainable soft wood frames, linoleum instead of PVC on the floors and many energy and water saving devices.

The Education Department is responsible for educating guests as well as formal groups. This can be done in many ways including through graphics and interpretation, talks and activities such as trails.

What can we offer?

Marwell's Education Officers can provide teaching sessions in the Education Centre for a range of age groups on a variety of topics designed to help you get more out of your day at Marwell. Teaching methods are varied to suit the group or class. The sessions are educational with a strong link to the National curriculum but, to create an engaging experience, the emphasis is on first hand opportunities and participation.

*NEW* PARK RESOURCES

We now also offer resources for you to download and use with your students in the park. These do not require a session in the Conservation Education Centre.

For further information, see our resources page.

Vocational Sessions

FROM SEPTEMBER 2008 MARWELL WILL NO LONGER BE OFFERING VOCATIONAL SESSIONS.

You may still wish to visit the park as part of your vocational studies. We have revised our pricing structure to allow education rates to be available to schools and colleges, without a session in the Education Centre.

Vocational resources are available on our Post 14 Resources page. These are free downloadable documents.
