Exploring specific subjects from Derwentwater Independent Hostel
For groups who want to study a particular subject (usually Key Stage 3 and above) we have developed information sheets for a range of subjects. Each sheet provides relevant local information and links to useful resources. We hope these will help you to plan your visit. Depending on staff availability we can also write and deliver activity plans for specific topics.
