Education
Education is a big part of Farm life. As well as being a place to visit or have visit your school, the Farm provides opportunities for young people to gain vocational qualifications as well as giving people of all ages the chance to learn and volunteer at the Farm.
Farm Visits There are two types of visit which the Farm provides. Your school, nursery or club can come and visit us or we can bring the Farm to you. For more information, please visit the Educational Visits page.
Our visits are very popular so please be sure to book early to avoid disappointment.

'Hands-On' Education Program
	Wellgate Farm works in partnership with Lambourne End Outdoor Centre to offer a work-related learning placement to 30 young people between the ages of 14 and 19. This provides an accredited vocational qualification in land-based and outdoor industries, including Farm Maintanence, Livestock farming and Conservation, and Sports and Recreation.
	This opportunity is open to all, however, young people with learning difficulties, challenging behaviour or those struggling to cope in mainstream education may find the unique learning environment of particular advantage.
