A school visit to Drayton Manor is more than just a fun day out. It is a giant physics experiment, a unique business case study, an impressive IT lab and many other areas including the zoo which can be used as tools to educate outside the classroom. We offer a range of interactive educational sessions designed in accordance to the National Curriculum. The sessions cater for all ages and can be tailored to a specific topic of your choice.
Bringing education to life is a challenge that teachers face on a daily basis. To help we have put together a program of activities and talks.
Please see our Primary Education and Secondary Education pages for more details. We also offer a number of programs for Nursery Education so please contact our Education Officer for more information.
We have written sessions that cover a wide range of subjects but it is not exhaustive, if you are looking for something different to what we currently offer, please give our Education Officer a call and discuss the possibility of a bespoke Education session.
Outreach Programs
It is understandable that sometimes a trip out to see us is not feasible, so most of our talks are available as an outreach session where our Education Officer will come to your school/college and deliver the talk on site. Please contact our educational officer to discuss the possibility of this.
With every school group booked we offer the opportunity for teachers to come and plan their day.

‘The educational talk provided was outstanding and met all the required criteria in a much more professional manner than received at other attractions visited.’
‘Excellent organisation and well worth the money!!’
‘We particularly liked the range of activities and questioning that took place during the talk. It gave a chance for learners to discuss in groups their ideas/answers and broke up the hour.’
‘Very enjoyable education visit. The ICT presentation by Jessica was excellent!’
‘A very good talk, and an enjoyable day’
‘Great talk. Most organised yet’
‘Jessica was very helpful before, during and after our visit. She managed to cover the information we requested within the one hour talk and included some interactive activities with the students, which kept them engaged.’
