Gatsby School Visit Grant
Thanks to a generous grant to the Botanic Garden from The Gatsby Charitable Foundation, we are offering a new travel grant scheme for state schools to support visiting the Botanic Garden. We are able to reimburse travel costs for all state schools on taught visits (EYFS to Year 13). We will also waive our usual fee for taught workshops for those schools with an at or higher-than-average pupil premium percentage. The grant will operate in the 2023/2024, 2024/2025 and 2025/2026.
Please note that the grant has been fully allocated for this school year. We encourage early applications when the grant opens again. Visit the grant page for further details.
Further Education, Horticultural Colleges or Higher Education Visits
You can download the relevant booking form below.
Please note language schools and education providers not following the UK curriculum will need to book a Holiday School Visit rather than an educational visit.
We offer a free pre-visit for teachers. You can either arrange a time to meet a Schools Learning Officer, or arrange a free entry into the Garden to plan your visit. Please contact us to arrange this.
