Education Services
The Mudchute education project provides a unique resource for schools and local children. The project works with local schools by providing structured activities and courses in environmental education, science and farming topics. These are linked to the needs of the National Curriculum and focus on a wide range of subjects, including biology of plants and animals, geography, environmental issues, art, english and maths. The project also offers a well-resourced 'living classroom'.
You can find out more about what's on offer with the downloadable Mudchute Education Project presentation. Teachers may can also download a risk assessment here.
