Rural Travel  

Is your school out with a 90 minutes drive from Glasgow Science Centre?
 
The good news is that there is no extra charge for travel to your school for the 2010-11 year.
 
If your school is more than 3 hours drive from Glasgow,  it would be great if you could work with other schools in your cluster - We would be happy to come to your area for several days.  This allows us to make our travel funding go further and to make the most out of our trip by visiting as many pupils as possible. 


How will the day look?


At the time of booking we will make up a bespoke itinerary for your day. We aim to be as flexible as possible so as to cause minimal disruption to your school schedule.
