Hartshill School Farm

We have a mini-farm and small animal unit on site which we use for our GCSE and BTEC students but we are able to accommodate visits from others, such as primary schools, by discussion. We have hosted Easter chick mornings and more general visits from the entire primary range but we can cater for most groups of users with a bit of joint planning!
