Why book a School Visit to Goodheart?

Studies have shown that learning outside the classroom teaches children to become independent, critical thinkers and allows for risk taking in a controlled environment. This will develop children’s confidence, maturity and mental wellbeing, as well as improving their attainment in education.

Here at Goodheart Farm Animal Sanctuary, we have many years experience hosting school visits and our friendly and knowledgeable team are passionate about what they do. We’re proud to ensure a safe, fulfilling, and fun experience for all ages and abilities.
