The curriculum suddenly comes to life and learning becomes “awesome”
Our Education Centre at Magor Marsh is able to cater for groups of up to 32 children and for a variety of age ranges from pre-school and beyond, including teacher training days! All our activities have been designed specifically for schools by qualified teachers and a teacher is available at the centre to discuss your individual requirements. Many of our activities are transferable to your setting, so we are able to offer an out reach service for those schools who are unable to come to us.
