Education Resources

Working in association with educational advisers, we have created a range of downloadable worksheets linked to the National Curriculum for pupils of Key Stages 1 to 3 and an Education Resource Pack for pupils of Key Stages 4/5.  These easy to use educational resources bring to life the learning opportunities that a visit to the Spinnaker Tower can offer.

Coming soon - New for 2013, we have teamed up with Pompey in the Community to develop new Key Stage 1 & 2 Literacy, Numeracy & Humanities activities which are National curriculum linked, hands on and fun.  These short activities will provide focus and structure to your visit and can be combined with any of our worksheets or prop boxes at no additional charge.
These new resources will be coming soon If you would like to be kept up to date about this new launch, please sign up for our educational newsletter, on the right hand side of our home page.

"The children and staff were really impressed with the organisation and the friendliness of the staff. I shall be booking next year's visit with you soon!"
