HOLISTIC
The Rest of Nature Schools Programme
HOPEFUL
Our natural instinct to relate to the rest of nature is evident in our children, but by senior school it starts to slip away. The Rest of Nature Schools Programme has been developed for students in Years 10 to 13. It offers a different, hopeful way to think about climate action, while linking to multiple curriculum subjects, as well as wellbeing and PSHE. Thought-provoking and interactive, the sessions engage oracy skills and share insight into the growing green careers sector.
