CAMPS

The Hagley Farm School Agricultural Learning Centre provides simple & affordable, dormitory style accommodation for schools visiting Hagley, but can also be utilised by schools requiring accommodation when visiting other areas.

Three cottages are available within the school precinct, bordering the school farm environment and after 3.00pm provide almost exclusive access to a safe oval and playgrounds for visiting schools.

Any of the three cottage accommodation units can be booked to suit visiting school numbers, with a maximum capacity of 72 students and accompanying adults.

All cottages are self-contained with dormitory bedrooms, bathrooms, showers, lounge and kitchen spaces available.

Please note:

As a Field Study Centre, visitor safety is at the heart of what we do. In line with DECYP procedures and in the event of severe weather warnings we will contact you to re-schedule your booking.

The latest excursion update from DECYP requires all schools to bring one forst aid qualified adult with visiting groups.
