Making Your Event Happen

We understand that bringing a premium dissection experience like ours into school is a significant investment. But this isn’t just a science workshop; it’s an unforgettable, curriculum-linked experience that inspires deep learning, critical thinking, and a genuine excitement for biology.

​

Contact us to enquire about our GRANT FUNDING scheme, get £400 towards any event. 

​

Here’s how schools across the UK are making it happen:

​

Why It’s Worth It:

• Curriculum-Aligned: Supports GCSE, A-Level, BTEC, T-Level and KS3 Science (Biology and Anatomy)

• Real-World Science: Live dissections using real organ specimens and expert-led sessions

• Inspiration for All Learners: Perfect for both high-achievers and those harder to engage

• Memorable Impact: Students consistently describe it as a highlight of their school year

• A cornerstone of student UCAS applications

• Students that are serious about medical careers are competing for spaces nationally against other students, admissions teams measure them on involvement in extra-curricular activities that demonstrate rounded character and exposure to medical environments that allow them to have made informed decisions. Students need activities such as this on their UCAS application.

"The impact on student understanding and engagement is phenomenal – worth every penny."
– John Nelthorpe Sixth Form, Brigg 2025

How to Fund It:

We know budgets are tight — but with a bit of creativity, most schools cover the cost with little or no strain on their main budget. Here are some proven strategies:

​

 1. Student Contribution

Most schools simply ask for a small parental contribution and when they do fill all of the spaces very quickly:

• £30 per student = 60 students covers the full price

• Works well with GCSE/A-Level cohorts or split across year groups

​

£30 is the average a small family spend on a Friday night take away, a trip to the cinema or two packets of cigarettes. The learning impact is priceless. If one parent avoided their daily Latte from high street coffee chains for just a week this would cover the cost of a place.

2. STEM or Department Budgets

• Schools in England & Wales are allocated £8000 per child per year for secondary education, up by 100% from £4000 when I was a head of department in 2014. Many schools allocate a portion of science, enrichment, or pupil premium budgets to bring our experience to their school or college. Teachers tell us when they ask SLT for approval, they find funds in reserve budgets or from underspend in facilities or other areas of the school budget.

• Use your STEM, Pupil Premium or PSHE funding (especially for careers links in healthcare/medicine)

​

3. PTA or Friends of the School

• Ask your Parent Teacher Association to support part or all of the cost

• Many PTAs are happy to fund extraordinary learning opportunities

​

4. School Fundraising

• Organise a quick fundraising initiative: bake sales, non-uniform days, or sponsored events

• A “Dissection Day Challenge” can even build excitement in the lead-up

​

5. Grants and Local Sponsorship

• Apply for local STEM or education grants

• Approach local science/medical companies or hospitals for sponsorship

​

6. Partner with Another School

• Some schools and colleges join forces and run one event but invite a partner school which helps make up numbers if there's a shortfall​
