How do I book a school visit?
All schools visits must be booked at least one month in advance. Please take a look at our sessions below and use the online form to make your booking.
To help you to get the most from your schools visit, we recommend that you make a planning pre-visit to The Box. You can also download our Teachers Hazard Assessment below to help you to write your own risk assessment.
