Bring the ocean into your learning environment.
Ocean Quest helps teachers, science departments and SEND leaders turn marine sustainability into an active, supported learning experience.
Session formats
Delivery can be planned for a class, focused group, enrichment activity, sustainability event or pilot. Group size, rotation and duration are shaped around equipment, timetable and learner needs.
SEND and accessibility
Comfort, pacing, sensory needs, interaction method and individual readiness should be considered together. We plan with staff who know the learners and never assume one format suits everyone.
Safeguarding and supervision
School staff retain responsibility for safeguarding and supervision. Delivery arrangements, space, hygiene, risk controls and staff roles are agreed before a session.
Expected outcomes
Projects may explore understanding, curiosity, confidence, attention or environmental awareness. Any evaluation is proportionate to the setting and reported in context.
Frequently asked questions
Planning an Ocean Quest session
What age groups can take part?
Ocean Quest can be planned for primary, secondary and post-16 learners. The content, session length, vocabulary and level of facilitation are adapted with the school for the age group and intended learning outcomes.
How are sessions adapted for SEND learners?
Planning can account for sensory preferences, communication needs, physical access, pacing, breaks and alternative ways to participate. We work with staff who know the learners so that reasonable adjustments are considered before delivery.
Does every learner need to use a VR headset?
No. Sessions can use rotations, small-group work, shared observation and supporting roles. A learner can take part in the wider activity without wearing a headset where that is the more appropriate route.
How is safeguarding handled?
The school retains responsibility for safeguarding and supervision. Before delivery we agree staff roles, space, hygiene, equipment handling, risk controls and any learner-specific considerations.
What curriculum topics can Ocean Quest support?
Ocean Quest can support teaching around marine ecosystems, pollution, sustainability, human impacts, citizenship, STEM, climate education and ocean literacy. The precise links are agreed against the school's objectives.
