LEAF Education builds on the fantastic work of FACE (Farming and Countryside Education) following the successful merger with LEAF. This is achieved by working 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 provide training and resources for teachers and help farmers navigate the world of education and support them in working with schools.

”Our Regional Education Consultant provided practical advice and ‘wowed’

everyone with suggestions for activities, from turning the children into a moving,

noise-making combine harvester, to worm charming.”

- Farmer

“The most important part of the day, for me, was the planning aspects of a farm visit which covered so many curriculum

areas. Looking around the farm was very interesting and gave an insight into what

could be achieved from a visit, again great hands-on activities.”

- Trainee 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.”

- A Level Business Studies student
