A Stunning location for outdoor education
The Earth Trust enjoys a unique position in the Oxfordshire countryside. Rising over the River Thames the Wittenham Clumps provide a stunning location for outdoor educational activities.
We aim to provide your class with an exciting and varied day full of learning opportunities that focus on their area of study. Learning outside the classroom is a great chance for cross-curricular education. Our visits and staff offer a holistic approach to topics and support your pupils in exploring the connections between subject areas.
Visits are focused on outdoor learning and can be fairly active. We encourage visitors to wear old clothes and bring wellies and a change of shoes. We try to provide quality outdoor learning for all, please contact us if any of your pupils have mobility issues and we will try our best to accommodate their needs.
We are very pleased to have developed lasting relationships with schools, teachers and pupils as many have returned to visit us again! Why not come and experience the amazing story etched into the landscape from our prehistoric past to a sustainable future all on one site?
