Costs
Charges for School Visits
Woodlands Farm is run by a Charitable Trust known as The
Woodlands Farm Trust. It is therefore essential to make
nominal charges in order to continue providing
educational facilities at the Farm.
On
occasions, grant funding is available for some schools,
offering free school visits and sometimes the cost of
transport to the Farm. There is currently funding
available for Greenwich & Lewisham schools and some
Bexley Borough schools.
Please
contact the Education Officer for the latest details.
If funding is not available, here is a list of standard
charges for 2008/09:
All prices quoted are exempt from VAT. Supervisors will
not be charged for their visit.
There is
a standard fee of £100 for an average class group. This
usually means a group of up to 30 pupils accompanied by
their teacher, assistants and parents. Larger groups are
booked in by arrangement and may be charged an
additional fee. Small groups may be charged less than
the standard fee, by prior arrangement with the
Education Officer.
Please provide full contact
details prior to your visit so that we can send you an invoice. All cheques should be
made payable to "The Woodlands Farm Trust".
Under certain
circumstances, charges may vary. In this case, the fee
will be determined in consultation with the Education
Officer prior to the visit.
At Woodlands Farm we would
not wish to exclude visitors because of their financial
status. It is our intention that some visits can be
subsidised by those who are able to pay the full fee or
provide extra voluntary contributions.
Charges for Groups other than Schools
Due to the
varied nature of visits and activities, charges for
groups other than school parties are arranged by
contacting the Farm for more information. Charges will
be made according to the amount of time required for
staffing your visit.
