One of the main activities of FACE is to help young people learn more about food and farming in a sustainable countryside. Strong links with local farmers and associated organisations are built in order to facilitate school visits and the development of curriculum related material. The main aim of the work is to allow school pupils to build an informed and realistic view of the issues currently facing farming and the countryside.
If you are interested in this area and want to know more about how countryside and farming topics can be integrated into the National Curriculum or discuss possible ways of linking farms and schools, please contact Katy or visit the FACE website at www.face-online.org.uk
There are superb teaching aids available as well as washing and toilets facilities on site. The schools staff are fully trained, have an educational background and are CRB checked.
