Choose from a selection of showstopping Zip World Educational Programmes, made with teachers as well as pupils in mind. These National Curriculum-linked programmes include lesson plans, presentations, workbooks and a hosted Zip World visit, focusing primarily on Science (forces), Geography and Language. We offer curriculum tailored programmes for both KS2 and KS3, 5-10 years, 11-18 years and 18+ years.

We can cater for groups of up to 40+ pupils and teachers. If the group is participating in an adventure, one adult is required to participate for each group of up to 7 children. This participating adult also goes free of charge. There is no minimum age for this adventure, but the pupils do have to be over 1.3m to participate.

Available in either Welsh or English, these educational programmes will offer the chance to escape the classroom, learn whilst doing, and take the pressure of planning off the teacher. Fly through the programme, or take it at a slower pace, with multiple pre-planned lessons to complete before you visit Zip World and put it all to practice. We provide work sheets in both Welsh and English, tailored to the topic and curriculum depending on the pupil’s age. These are available to download from our website:

Pupils and teachers may take photos and videos, but we do restrict the use of personal cameras on the adventures. We suggest you use our souvenir video cameras that can be provided to each pupil and teacher.

We provide a full risk assessment and public liability insurance documents for teachers.

Our pricing starts from £15 per pupil and every 7 pupils include a supervising adult that goes for free. Food packages are also available upon request. We offer a percentage discount depending on group sizes.

We recommend that you wear long sleeves and something that covers your knees. We also recommend sensible and comfortable shoes that cover your toes.

Safety is our number one priority and so we always have a first aid team on site and conduct regular training.

Our London site offers on-site toilets with disabled access and a giftshop to buy souvenirs. We also offer a study space and lunch area nearby where you can receive drinks and food.

We aim to offer our experiences to as many people as possible and so we do our best to tailor our adventures. This site has accessible entrances and a lift to access the site with disabled toilets located on the lower level. Due to the nature of the Helix slide, we can’t offer this adventure if you have a disability. However, access to the viewing platform is completely possible.

We are open Monday to Sunday, 7 days a week. Our times vary due to seasonality. This can all be verified once the tailoring begins for the programme.

Our school programmes have been developed alongside education industry experts to ensure they align with the National Curriculum.
