"I hear and I Forget.
I see and I remember.
I do and I understand"
(Confucius, Chinese philosopher, 551 - 479 BC)
A visit to Old Holly Farm is a unique opportunity for young minds
to explore the countryside - discovering its inhabitants and its agricultural importance. This provides an ideal prospect for educational visits to encourage cross - curricular learning across a broad range of ages from pre-school upwards. The centre also offers excellent enhancement for the lives of all young students, but especially those who may not otherwise have the opportunity to enjoy the countryside.
Old Holly Farm is working to support the government agency campaign Think Food and Farming. If we can help you in any way with the three core learning experiences, visits, growing experiences, and cooking/food production, please get in contact Old Holly tel: 01524 791200 or email oldhollyfarm.com.
CEVAS Accredited - Old Holly Farm has recently been awarded accreditation under the Countryside Educational Visits Accreditation Scheme.
Planning your visit - Teachers are encouraged to pre-visit the farm free of charge to maximize the educational potential of the school visit and see what we have on offer. We can help produce worksheets/packs to ensure you get the most from your visit. Written risk assessments for school visits have been completed by Old Holly Farm, however it is important that school's produce their own prior to the visit.
