Home Education School Farms Network SFN Conference 2011 - report

sfnconf1The inaugural School Farm Network Conference, held at the West Somerset College in Minehead in July, proved a great success. In the past three years more than 20 schools have developed new farm units, with at least three times that number currently exploring how to start...and the interest is growing as all teachers can benefit from the use of the hands-on, real life learning environment that the school farm provides. Secondary, primary, PRUs and now nurseries are all looking to gain from rearing livestock on site.

This online conference resource (which will be added to in due course) contains images, presentations from workshops at the conference, plus a conference summary.
