Why a discovery class?
A discovery class connects the classroom to the real world. Pupils visit science centres, labs, planetariums and historic sites — seeing first-hand the ideas they've studied on paper.
Each trip is built around a theme: space, technology, natural science or heritage. We arrange expert-led visits, workshops, travel and accommodation, all mapped to your learning objectives.
- Expert-led science & tech visits
- Hands-on workshops and experiments
- Themed itinerary mapped to your curriculum
- Full insurance and supervision
