Explore the planet from the comfort of your classroom
Based on real-life expeditions to the world’s rainforests, mountains and polar regions, Explorer Academy workshops take pupils on a journey to some of the remotest corners of the planet, all without leaving the school premises. Specifically designed to dovetail with the Key Stage 2 curriculum, our visually stunning programmes aim to captivate, educate and entertain, creating engaging and memorable experiences for young people, whilst still retaining a focus on learning.
