About Us

'A model of excellent practice'

This is our vocation. We are specialists that focus on the natural world and strive to ensure every single child receives an outstanding experience from our sessions.

We believe our unique expertise, life experience, subject passion and charismatic delivery create the kind of memorable science visits the next generation need to be inspired... igniting a passion for future scientists to tackle the challenges the natural world faces within their lifetimes.

Our Sessions

We are very proud to say that our workshops are, quite simply, a cut above the rest!

Sessions are flexible in length and content and are suitable for EYFS, KS1 and KS2 as well as special schools. It is possible to have a session for every class in a single-form entry school across a full day visit - great value!

Workshops in a class of their own

Having qualified as a teacher in 2001 I worked as Science Lead for 6 years before deciding to leave my post and follow a MSc course in Animal Behaviour - studying field techniques in Madeira, Mull and Tanzania. 


Whilst studying I launched Wildworkshops - visiting schools to captivate, engage and inspire primary children with hands-on nature workshops. Schools loved it - I talked at shows and conferences and now, 17 years later, work nationwide. Alongside Jah McKenzie we provide 'Really WildWorkshops' - inner city shows bringing wildlife to the UK's most urban schools.

 

“If children are not engaged with nature, if they do not understand it, why would they want to save it?”

"The look of awe and wonder on the children's faces was amazing!"

If you’re looking for outstanding visits to school that are hands on, investigative, contextual, informative (I could go on but I’m hoping you catch my drift), then I would highly recommend Wild workshops.


Steven worked with three Y2 classes today who were utterly engrossed during the sessions and enthused for the rest of the day (you should have seen how many mini beasts they found at playtimes)!

My colleagues loved it too - not only for how good the sessions were but they saw it as incidental CPD - Steven modelled an outstanding lesson in every regard which has left teachers feeling enthused too.

Steven's back at ours tomorrow for a day of Reception based workshops - they’re well excited

Thank you Steven! Great stuff!

Can I please pass on the praise that I received from my colleagues about your wonderful workshops!!!

They were blown away by your knowledge, resources and joy of teaching.  You held the children in the palm on your hand and they were so engaged with their learning.  Just brilliant!
