Are you eligible for a free school visit?

Thanks to the Edina Trust, we have funding to offer 30 schools a FREE space package (worth £1,000) for Year 5 and 6 pupils.

The Edina Trust is a small charity which funds activities to enhance the teaching and learning of primary school science. The UK Space Agency aims to boost UK prosperity, while improving our understanding of the Universe, and protecting our planet and outer space.

To be eligible for a funded visit, your school must be based in a rural location or have over 45% pupil premium. The attending pupils must be in Year 5 or 6. Smaller schools with mixed Key Stage 2 classes are also welcome to register.
