School sessions at London Wildlife Trust
We provide hands-on nature lessons directly linked to the National Curriculum. Outdoor school sessions cover a variety of topics for Early Years Foundation Stage through Key Stages 1 and 2 (up to 11 years). These sessions are also suitable for home-school groups and community groups, we can tailor a session to suit a range of ages and abilities in one group.
Activities include pond dipping – using nets and trays to explore our aquatic habitats, minibeast hunting – looking in our woodland habitats to discover the small invertebrates that live within, and plant detectives.

Self-led school visits
A self-led visit is where your group is accessing the nature reserve, but you are not having an organised session from our Outdoor Learning Team. If you would like to visit one of our nature reserves with a school or group as a self-led session, you'll need to book in.
