We aim to inspire primary students to be curious and expand their horizons by providing:
- Fun approach to learning around the curriculum
- Equipment and resources not usually available in schools
- Integration of real-world experience and early career thinking
- Identifying new ‘soft’ skills for learning and life
- Understanding of science and technology for our future world
SATRO delivers to whole year groups, individual classes and can provide a series of timetabled sessions. We work with all abilities and are able to adapt to student needs and the size of the school. It is also possible to put together discounted packages that will support across the academic year meeting your aims in all year groups.
Our prices are supported by charitable funding with additional support to specific programmes. We welcome enquiries from all schools and will endeavour to further support all those with high levels of disadvantage. We bring the fun of a trip into the school helping to make fun learning available to all.
