ESTATE DAYS BY AREA
Estate Open Days 2010
We are looking forward to another very busy estate day programme in 2010. The events are very popular so do book early.
What is an Estate Open Day?
The opportunity for schools to visit country estates and for the children to learn about what is involved in the managment of such an estate and to meet the people who work there.The Estate Day will incorporate many themes of core importance in the National Curriculum, particularly Geography, History, ESD, Science & Citizenship. In 2010, through our estate day programme and Countryside Live events, we will introduce over 20,000 children and 650 teachers to the countryside.

A twilight pre-visit briefing session will take place prior to the Estate Day. This session is a pre-requisite to the Estate Day as teachers will need to prepare appropriately for the day and vital instructions will be given in the briefing session. It is essential that at least one Teacher per school attends the PVB. They normally start at 4pm or 4.30pm until 6pm.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the estate owners and their staff for allowing us to use their property for these events. In addition, the events would not be possible without the generous support of those grant-giving trusts whose contributions enable us to run them.
