Education Programme

For a great day out in Kent!

At Brogdale Farm we offer a unique mix of fun, excitement and education. 

The National Fruit Collection as one of the treasures of England, makes up the world’s most significant collection of fruit varieties.  It is renowned for its scientific, horticultural and historic importance.  Our Curriculum based programme breathes imagination, fun and discovery into learning.

For most people the word ‘education’ conjures up pictures of classrooms, but at Brogdale Farm we aim to bring subjects to life through ‘hand’s on’ experiences.  We have been working with FACE (Farming & Countryside Education) to create a programme, which links into the national curriculum, key stage 2.  The programme incorporates a series of interactive education activities with specific links to the science and geography curriculum whilst supporting sustainable development and healthy living.

We offer the option of two different educational packages:

A ‘Teacher Led’ Programme, which includes a great teacher who will aid and guide pupils around the National Fruit Collections or alternatively a ‘Self Led’ Programme, which provides the perfect platform to plan your own day.

Whichever package you choose, your class will have a memorable experience that will last long after they have returned to school.
