At Brockhill we teach our very own course called the Great Outdoors, every yr 7&8 student has one lesson per week based around the farming calendar and where food comes from. #Farm24 Farmers Guardian
We feel it is important to share our farm with others so we run a primary school programme called Farming School. Over 350 local school children joined us this year for farm lessons plus two scout groups and 2 behavioural needs schools. #farm24 #NextGeneration Farmers Guardian
We enjoy taking our students and animals to the Kent County Show This year we were delighted to win Champion Pen of Butchers Pigs. The show helps teach resilience, teamwork and communication in a way that lessons in a classroom can’t! #Farm24 Farmers Guardian
We also have a walled garden and are delighted to start teaching Horticultural for the first time from September. This year we took part in the Historical Royal Palaces SuperBloom Project. #farm24 Historic Royal Palaces
We really enjoy hosting an OpenFarmSunday event, this year we had a sheep shearing demo. Engaging our local community with our farm is an important aspect of helping people understand where food comes from #farm24 LEAF Education Farmers Guardian
One of our teachers has a sheep & cattle farm and regularly videos a ‘day in the life’ on a commercial farm. She sends the videos to schools - if you know a school that might like to get involved let us know #farm24 #farmertime Farmers Guardian Primary Times UK
We can’t resist but share the little video that we made during our #royalvisit from HRH the Duchess of Edinburgh who awarded us LEAF Education Gold Demo Sch Status for our work on helping students understand where food comes from #farm24 #proud Farmers Guardian
