For Teachers & Educators

Expe­ri­ence first-hand expe­ri­en­tial learn­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties on farm. With our net­work of trained farm­ers, we can deliv­er, and help you plan and run safe, cur­ricu­lum-linked edu­ca­tion­al farm vis­its in your local area.

Some­times it is just not pos­si­ble to get your stu­dents phys­i­cal­ly out onto a farm. That is why our net­work of trained host farm­ers and edu­ca­tion spe­cial­ists can pro­vide vir­tu­al farm vis­its to enrich your class­room learning.

As well as bring­ing your stu­dents to the farm, phys­i­cal­ly or vir­tu­al­ly, our team of edu­ca­tion­al spe­cial­ists can deliv­er Nation­al Cur­ricu­lum and exam spec­i­fi­ca­tion work­shops in school, enrich­ing sub­ject, and top­ic learning.

We offer train­ing days for teach­ers to bring food, farm­ing, and the nat­ur­al envi­ron­ment to life in the school cur­ricu­lum, includ­ing accred­it­ed ini­tial teacher train­ing (ITT) and var­i­ous CPD ses­sions cov­er­ing all key stages. We can also deliv­er bespoke train­ing, spe­cif­ic to your school’s require­ments either on farm or in school.

Every year, our Nation­al Com­pe­ti­tions have a sig­nif­i­cant impact in open­ing young minds to why farm­ing mat­ters and what farm­ing deliv­ers, as well as issues around health, well­be­ing, sus­tain­abil­i­ty, cli­mate change and career oppor­tu­ni­ties in the agri-food industry.
