Eligibility: School or University Student Groups

Groups of students from schools or universities who are undertaking an educational visit led by academic staff from their own institution are eligible to use the Station's facilities.

The trip need not be a formal part of a course of study or contribute to course credit, but there must be a significant and genuine educational component. This would generally be demonstrated by at least some of the following activities being organised by the group leader during the visit: lectures by academic staff; guided field trips involving recording of observations or data collection; individual or group research projects; verbal presentations and/or written reports by students.

Additional adult supervisors are also eligible where they are necessary for safe and effective conduct of the group's activities. For example, a high school group may require an adult supervisor for every four students, whereas a university group may only require one academic staff member for 10 or even 20 students.
