We run a system where any school can book as many visits as they woul dlike
during a term, and offer three workshop times each day - 10-12, 12-2, 2-4.
This works very well for schools from most London boroughs. We also run 6th
Form conference days from 11-3 for one week per term, with other age groups
alongside these. Booking is first-come, first-served! Democracy at work....
