For Teachers & Educators
Everything you need to deliver the curriculum
through food and farming experiences — both
on the farm and in classroom settings.
LEAF Education works across the education, farming and food sectors to inspire, engage and mobilise farmers and teachers about the value of farming in a learning context.
We deliver practical training, resources and activities that help deliver curriculum-linked learning through food and farming experiences, both in and out of the classroom.
What we offer
Teacher training & CPD
We offer training days for teachers, including accredited initial teacher training (ITT) and various CPD sessions, covering all key stages. Or we can develop bespoke training for your specific needs.
Farm Visits for Pupils
With our network of trained farmers, we can help you plan and run safe, curriculum-linked educational farm visits and other days for your pupils in your local area.
Virtual Farm Visits
Sometimes it’s just not possible to get your pupils physically out onto a farm. That’s why our network of trained farmers can also provide virtual farm visits for you to deliver as part of a classroom experience.
In-School Sessions
As well as bringing your pupils to the farm, physically or virtually, our team of teachers and educational consultants also deliver in-school sessions.
Free classroom resources
We provide classroom resources through Countryside Classroom, a database of free teaching resources that’s searchable by keyword, key stage and subject.
Demonstration Schools
An initiative to recognise pioneering schools which use farming, food production and the natural environment topics within its curriculum working directly with LEAF Education’s Regional Education Consultants.
The National Competition in Food, Farming and Natural Environment 2023
The National Competition, for high achieving students in year 9 – 11, aims to engage and inspire future generations about food production, the natural environment and highlight the many career opportunities available in the land-based sector.
“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.”
