Supporting life-long learning in Chichester Harbour
Our Education Centre, based at Dell Quay, provide year-round field trips and visits for schools, colleges, Universities and groups from Hampshire, West Sussex and further afield. Our experienced, enthusiastic teaching team bring real-world learning experiences to children and young people of all ages.
With its unique blend of land and sea, Chichester Harbour National Landscape is an ideal environment for students to explore and understand the natural world and to study a coastal environment first-hand.
The Chichester Harbour Education Team work with visiting schools and colleges, tailoring programmes that enable children and young people to learn about this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Outreach sessions are also provided to take talks and workshops to schools and for community groups.
For younger children our Harbour Tots groups for pre-schoolers lets those aged 2½ to 4 explore the natural environment with their parents and carers. Activities include muddy walks on the shoreline and plenty of games and stories. The sessions offer a fun and friendly way to get very young children out in the fresh air to find out more about our Harbour and wildlife.
Beyond meeting academic needs, the Education Centre also plays a crucial role in inspiring future generations to value and conserve Chichester Harbour. Their programs are designed to help young people and adults alike discover the delights of wildlife and bring nature to life.
