The Learning Hub is headed up by Kerry Rice, Education Officer for St Aubyn Estates.
Based at St Michael’s Mount, Kerry leads the educational programme on the Mount with plans to establish an outdoor learning strategy across the entire Estate. Working with schools and community groups across Cornwall, the programme is designed to engage children and young people in creative and collaborative experiences that bring the history of the island and its locality to life.
In the 2023/24 academic year, Kerry welcomed over 6,000 young learners to experience the magic of the Mount.

The Learning Hub is funded by the St Aubyn Foundation, a charitable programme that supports initiatives in west Cornwall that make a difference to the local community. All pre-booked Cornish schools, can visit St Michael's Mount for free.
