We have a wide range of science outreach kits available for schools to use. Each kit comes with kit list and instructions - perfect for lessons and after school clubs. Contact our schools team with any enquiries at [email protected].
To ensure all our equipment can be COVID-Secure, all kit loans will be isolated for a minimum of 72 hours between loans, as per our Risk Assesment for kit loan during COVID-19. Most loans are for two school weeks, being available for collection from Monday morning and to be returned by Friday afternoon. We will need to strictly adhere to these times to ensure kit can be safely loaned to other schools, and we appreciate your co-operation in this. It remains up to schools to risk assess their own usage of our kit loan equipment, but we do have suggested general risk assessments for all kit loan available on our risk assessments page.
