Inviting Nature Into Schools - National Education Nature Park

What’s happening in Oxfordshire Schools?

We are currently supporting the Oxfordshire County Council to find out what Oxfordshire Schools are doing on nature enhancements to their grounds, and educating their students in and about nature. The information will be used to work out how the Council, nature organisations and educators in the county can help.

There are around 355 schools in Oxfordshire, including 85 secondary schools. Around 40 of these have signed up for the National Education Nature Park (NENP)(18 secondary and 22 primary) - a project which seeks to encourage schools to invite more biodiversity into school and use it for wellbeing and education through digitally mapping their school site. Many schools are using D of E as an opportunity to complete this.

Below is the list so far - let us know if we’ve missed you!

If you would be willing to add to the information please do complete the questionnaire above.
