What you need to know

To make planning your visit to the Scottish Seabird Centre as straightforward as possible, we have compiled a teachers' information pack with everything you need to know. This covers parking, risk assessment plus booking information.

How to book a visit

Booking is essential for all indoor and outdoor education sessions, whether you are self-guided or taking part in one of our educational workshops. Have you had a look at our Seaside School programme? 

Fill out an enquiry form, call +44 (0)1620 890202 or email education@seabird.org to discuss possible dates and arrange a provisional booking.

Please have alternative dates available as we may not always be able to accommodate your first choice, particularly during the summer term.

Costs

Indoor: £3.50 per school child (£3 East Lothian Council schools); £1.50 for nursery pupils.

Outdoor: £4.50 per school child (£4 East Lothian Council schools); £2.50 for nursery pupils.

This includes entry to the award-winning Discovery Centre.

All schools must pay the full balance on or before the date of the visit. Payment is based on numbers booked. Cheques, cash and credit/debit cards are accepted. An invoice may be raised with prior arrangement and must be settled in full before the date of the visit.

Cancellation: No refund will be given if you cancel less than two weeks prior to a scheduled visit.

Adult to pupil ratios

Nursery - 1 adult for every 3 children.

Primary and secondary - 1 adult for every 6 children.

There is no charge for teachers and adult helper within these ratios. Additional adults cost £6.50 each.

Familiarisation visits

Free planning visits are available to teachers. We recommend a planning visit to ensure your group get the most from their trip.

If you have any questions please get in touch - we are always happy to help. We aim to make your class trip as enjoyable for you, as it is for your pupils.
