Outdoor learning

Learn in a fun   outdoor environment

PRE-VISITS AVAILABLE Contact us to arrange your pre visit to discuss your School or Organisations visit.

Enrichment sessions for nurture groups on the farm are our most popular sessions with local schools. Some book for a term at a time and others for a one-off session. They are great for young people who need some time out of the classroom to learn in an enriching way.

Enrichment sessions have been proven to benefit students mentally, socially and physically and they now play an important role in school education.

We are pleased to be able to work alongside our local schools to build farm-based enrichment programmes to suit their students’ needs and requirements

These sessions can be for 2 hours or more and for up to 15 students at a time. Contact us to arrange a pre visit to meet with us and discuss your student’s needs

Your time on   our farm.

During your visit you can learn about how we care for all of the animals as well as learning more about our environment & the wildlife on the farm. The students and teachers will be allowed into many of our paddocks for close up interaction with our animals. 

Our animals all graze outdoors but some need shelter from the rain so some paddocks have specially built animal shelters. We also have a number of outbuildings and stables which are used for housing poultry, giving birth or if any of our animals need medical care.

Young people love to learn more facts about the animals like why we shear the sheep and alpacas, why sheep and goats have rectangular eyes. You can choose whether you would like us to teach farm to fork and which animal producing which meat. Even the teachers are surprised by some facts we tell them.

Our  Horticulture area

We have an area of the farm which is dedicated to horticulture with a fruit & salad polytunnel, educational polytunnel for students to sow and grow their own produce, a green house, herb garden, vegetable patches and a fruit patch.

 We are able to offer educational visits on growing your own food, where the children get to join in sowing and harvesting.

Around the farm we have hedgerows and British native trees, and in 2024 we have already started to work alongside students to plant more trees, including a small apple orchard and plan to create two new garden areas, to include a sensory garden and a wildlife garden in 2025.

 Frampton Farm is a haven for wildlife including foxes, rabbits, badgers and birds. Although many trees have fallen over the years the family are working hard to plant thousands more UK native trees to not only encourage more wildlife but also to help the environment.

Curriculum    Based

We will happily tailor your visit to match your current curriculum learning. Many of our Spring / Summer 2024 school visits did a full day session, visiting and learning about animals in the morning and sowing seeds and learning about vegetables in the afternoon. If you are planning to come around lambing time, we recommend you book up in advance as this is a very popular time for school visits.

Karen & Hamilton (Ham) are our fun informative educational hosts and they love to answer the children and teachers’ questions. They look forward to welcoming you all to Frampton Farm very soon.
