Year 5 Space centre trip

The National Space Centre is one of the UK’s leading science attractions and offers a unique opportunity for pupils to explore space, science, and technology beyond the classroom. During the visit, children will have the chance to:

• Walk beneath real rockets and spacecraft

• Experience the UK’s largest planetarium with an immersive space show

• Learn about astronauts, planets, and future space missions in an inspiring, hands-on environment

This trip will bring learning to life, spark curiosity, and encourage pupils to dream big. Experiences like this have a lasting impact on children’s confidence, engagement, and enthusiasm for learning—particularly in science and STEM subjects.
