BHEST: Teaching on the Turf at Bath Racecourse

The British Horseracing Education and Standards Trust (BHEST) will be bringing 20 children from Norton Hill School to Bath Racecourses season finale on Wednesday 22nd October, in a scheme which aims to teach children aspects of the National Curriculum in a practical environment.
The scheme was developed back in 2000 aimed to encourage a new, younger audience to the delights of horse racing through various educational sessions based on the National Curriculum.
The programme enables children to be taught their core subjects in a diverse and stimulating environment making the learning process much more fun.
On the day the children will undertake a variety of activities whereby mathmatics will be included. This includes visiting the weighing room, viewing some of the equipment and watching a live race.

Bath Racecourse season finale is on Wednesday 22nd October. Gates open 12:00pm, first race 2:00pm and last race 5:00pm. Tickets start at £8.00 for the picnic enclosure and can be bought online at www.bath-racecourse.co.uk or by calling the racecourse office on 01225 424609.
