Our home education workshops are designed for children from 5 to 16 years old who are being home educated. Delivered by a diverse and highly skilled education team, we provide unique interactive experiences using resources such as live animals, animal objects and multimedia. You can choose to attend every workshop in the relevant age range or just a few that peak your interest.
