Key Stage 4 sessions
Stimulating hands-on sessions at Wakehurst led by experienced and enthusiastic teachers for KS4 pupils.
Our learning programme at Kew’s wild botanic garden in West Sussex inspires curiosity and wonder in the world of plants and fungi.
We offer hands-on education sessions designed around inquiry-based learning and our sessions link to the curriculum and Kew’s science work.
A full-day’s educational trip to Wakehurst typically features two 1-2 hour sessions. We also support half-day and self-led visits. Our team work with you to plan a day that suits your preferred learning themes and timings.
