Special Educational Needs
We welcome visits from groups with special needs. Most of our programmes can be adapted to suit your pupils.
The site provides an excellent range of stimuli to aid learning and forms the basis for an exciting day out.
Access
At present there is good access by wheelchair to most of the buildings, the Home Farmyard (cobbled area) and the Walled Garden (gravel paths). A lift gives wheelchair access to the first floor Hall display rooms. There is dedicated parking for blue badge holders and Special School minibuses at the back of Croxteth Hall. Most of the park paths and trails including many in Croxteth Local Nature Reserve are surfaced with tarmac or stone.
Customised and Special Visits
It may be possible to 'customise' a visit to your particular requirements. We regularly adapt elements from one or more programmes to cater for specific topics.
We have successfully incorporated Theatre In Education, art and drama workshops at KS2 as well as programmes for Secondary and Tertiary Education. We also work with schools, colleges and universities to provide work placements, assistance with projects and teaching topics ranging from GNVQ Leisure and Tourism to Countryside Management. Please contact the Education Officer (telephone 0151 233 6912) or Senior Ranger (telephone 0151 233 6915) to discuss your requirements.
Dates, duration and charges: dependent on visit.
