School Liaison
Operating as an independent educational charity, we pride ourselves on listening to requests from teachers and strive to update our educational programme.
Each year we have incorporated workshops, team challenges and specific astronomy tours into a visit and have worked with many Gifted and Talented groups.
Please contact The Centre with your suggestions. We are especially interested to work in partnership with schools to support grant applications.
