Preview Visits for Teachers

Early years and primary school teachers can arrange a free pre-visit to explore the Science Oxford Centre facilities and offer, ahead of making a booking or ahead of a booked visit.

You’ll have:

  • time to see and experience the hands-on exhibits in our Exploration Zone.
  • a chance to find out about relevant workshop activities in the Classroom.
  • a view of our Theatre, where our live shows are performed.
  • An introduction to the Centre team and teaching ethos.
  • An opportunity to explore our outside areas, woodland and ponds (self-guided and during spring/summer or daylight hours only).
  • If you have already booked a session, we’ll go over the details of the visit, including looking at the equipment that may be used during activities. You’ll be able to complete your school trip risk assessments, if necessary, and ask us any questions about your upcoming visit.

Teachers are welcome to come alone, or as part of a small team.

It's such a wonderful, fun, interactive site, so much opportunity to explore and learn. Great ethos! As the class teacher I know I could trust the Science Oxford staff to lead and teach the class.
