Schools & group Visits
The Education and Outreach Team are proud to provide engaging and educational visits, opportunities and experiences for schools and community groups across Sandwell that are unique to Forge Mill Farm, Sandwell Valley Country Park, and Sandwell parks and green spaces.
Our team of experienced educators, farmers and rangers will bring the curriculum to life through our bespoke programmes, hands on practical experiences and ‘Fresh Air’ learning techniques.
Participants can be of any age, from schools to community groups and of any ability as we have the freedom to adapt as necessary. We have the programme for you and if we haven’t we can create one.
Our programmes
We have carefully designed a range of visits that can be tailored to meet your groups requirements no matter the Subject, Key stage or whether you are just looking for a fun day out!
