Rural Skills Workshops - Secondary pupils 14+
Our farm education activity takes pupils from Primary 1 through to upper secondary school and develops an understanding of the food production system and good practice in farming. Workshops are contextualised by age and range from the opportunity to view an egg in development to handling new-born chicks or focusing on one particular industry such as dairy or beef farming.
Secondary pupils with an interest in rural skills are able to gain a greater understanding of animal husbandry and welfare beyond that available in school to enhance their skills and knowledge. We place great importance in sustainable farming practice to ensure that pupils who take part in our workshops develop an understanding of the issues the planet currently faces in producing food for an expanding population without detriment to the planet.
Our school education workshops support the delivery of The Curriculum for Excellence, and many of our activities are based outdoors on our 2000 acre estate, making use of our natural spaces to inspire learning. The King's Foundation works in harmony with the natural world, and as such our workshops also touch upon the UN Sustainable Development goals and support learning for sustainability.
TIMINGS
Our rural skills workshops run from 10am until 3pm each day.
NUMBERS
Our secondary workshops can accommodate a maximum of 20 pupils. For smaller groups there is a 12 pupil minimum number.
COSTS
There is no charge for Secondary Schools.
