Main Building

The main Centre building consists of 3 classrooms, each is fully equipped and with it's own interactive whiteboard and projector. 

The classrooms have a maximium capacity of 32 students and are all fully equipped for a variety of different topics.  The Centre building also houses a hand washing room, toilets, kitchen, library area and offices.  

Playground

The Centre has a playground which is used for playtimes and for some of our on-site activities. There is an additional area where children can sit quietly under the shade of the beech tree. The playground overlooks the allotments, where a wide variety of fruit and vegetables are grown.

In the playground we have a brick WW2 air raid shelter. Half of the shelter is used for storing spare coats, wellingtons and our kiln, whilst the other half is used for our WW2 Evacuee Day.                     

Grounds

In addition to the playground at the rear of the Centre, there is a garden area at the front of the Centre. It is mainly laid to lawns with a variety of flowers and shrubs. The shade of the trees is very welcome in the summer months when visiting groups can picnic outside.

To the rear of the playground is the Centre's allotment and wildlife area.  The wildlife area has many features such as logs, long grass and two small ponds which make it a fantastic place to look for minibeasts.  

Transport to the Centre is booked on your behalf with Kingsferry Travel Group.  All coaches are modern, fitted with safety belts and have 49 seats (53 Seaters available on request) 

Our team of drivers are familiar with the local areas and our programmes. Groups are picked up from school and are taken directly to the Centre. The coaches remain with you for the whole day and are used when required for transport to our study sites. This service is included in the cost of your visit to Horton Kirby.
