What makes us a great choice for education

We offer pre and post visit lesson plans to use in the classroom to compliment your visit. We also have a National SEA LIFE Learning Hub subscription service with a wealth of lesson plans and information for teachers.

As well as lessons available about sea creatures and habitats, we offer workshops tacking conservation issues such as plastic pollution, teaching children to be the sea defenders of the future.

What is typically included on our school trips

Self-Guided Tours (additional charge may occur) and Workshops catering for early years, KS1 and KS2 are available. We combine active, hands-on learning with fascinating educational talks and an opportunity to have an up-close and personal view into our amazing aquatic world for your ultimate school trip!
