Secondary school visits at the Arboretum
Subject-specific programmes to enhance the curriculum for Key Stage 3, 4, 5 and further education groups.
Harcourt Arboretum is just six miles south of Oxford City Centre. It has 130 acres of endangered trees, natural woodland and native wildflower meadow.
We offer a range of sessions designed to enhance the curricula for all Key Stages. Sessions for further education groups are also available. Parking for cars and coaches is available on site.
About school visits
We offer a range of sessions for Key Stage 3, 4, 5 and further education groups. Each session lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours and has a maximum capacity of 35 students.
