For schools

Children watching birds at school, RSPB Big Schools Birdwatch

Nature is in trouble - millions of people are stepping up to help, and everyone's small steps make a big difference.

We hope to support your teaching with relevant resources and ideas to actively engage your class or group.

We are passionate about getting young people outside and experiencing nature first-hand. From your school grounds to special places further afield, we can provide something that meets your needs.

By exploring this page, you will see how easy it is to step up and instil a love of nature in your students through our resources and activities. If you'd like to let us how your school has stepped up or share your thoughts and ideas, you can let us and other educators know about it on our online community. We'd love to hear from you!
