You and your GCSE students (or Year 9/A Level if preferred) are invited to a tailor-made on-farm activity day which can include topics from the Business Studies course.

You and your GCSE students (or Year 9/A Level if preferred) are invited to participate in an on-farm activity day which can be tailor-made to your content and availability requirements. It could include topics from the Business Studies course such as finance, operations, marketing, technology, people, and the environment. It presents an opportunity for them to meet a farmer and witness first-hand the exciting innovation and diversification taking place on some UK farms, as they respond to changing market conditions driven by Brexit and dietary preferences, and as they adapt to rising energy costs and climate change. Furthermore, farms can show students the interdependence of business in a real-world environment.

We don’t have any planned dates for this event right now but we can deliver all our activities on-demand, or our team of experienced educators can create tailored experiences for your specific needs.

“The children really enjoyed the tour of the farm and being able to go into the field to see the animals close up; a real chance to get out of the classroom environment and continue learning.”

— Year 3 teacher

“It really opened my eyes to see how a farm is run as a multi-million pound business,and to think about all the decisions the farmer has to make, not just what crops to grow.”
