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.
