Brand new programmes for schools at Bore Place
4 September 2018
Bore Place has been welcoming schools for 40 years to share their 'head, heart and hands' approach to learning about food, farming and the environment.
Their programmes are designed to engage all the senses and create memorable learning experiences for schools and groups, from EYFS through to Primary to Secondary and SEND.
They are located in beautiful countryside, near to Chiddingstone in Kent and their organic dairy farm and market garden provide the perfect setting for a day visit or a residential stay with purpose-built facilities. With health and well-being high on everyone’s agenda, they have taken the best that Bore Place has to offer and created brand new programmes. These include ‘Organic Dairy’ and ‘Healthy Eating and Staying Active’, during which pupils find out about where food comes from, get active by exploring the countryside and enjoy a hands-on cooking experience to create some tasty food. All visits include a farm tour.
"Fabulous teacher who really engaged the children, activities were well organised ....very clean facilities."
