RSPB Northern Ireland supports schools working towards their Eco-Schools awards through the provision of support and advice on developing school grounds and enhancing local biodiversity. We also offer a variety of exciting programmes exploring the Biodiversity and the Global Dimension modules. We provide a range of web and printed materials, offer activities such as the Big Schools Birdwatch, Wildlife Action and Climate Action Awards, targeted conservation activities, out of classroom experience and a school visits programme across all age ranges from nursery to Key Stage 4, and for children with special educational needs. We work with teachers to ensure our programmes suit the target audience and deliver for the NI curriculum. Visit our website or talk to our Education Officer to find out how we can support your school.
The RSPB’s work is driven by a passionate belief that we all have a responsibility to protect birds and the environment. Bird populations reflect the health of the planet on which our future depends.
The Big Schools’ Birdwatch is an activity that helps towards your Biodiversity Topic and gets your class closer to nature. It takes just an hour and works for all ages and abilities. RSPB support includes resources, curriculum links and follow up analysis.
Wild Challenge is your chance to help wildlife, explore nature, and work towards awards through a selection of fun and educational activities. The RSPB’s brand new online awards scheme encourages your class to go out and get stuck into a wild adventure. The scheme links to the Biodiversity Topic and provides activities that will help your school to move towards or retain your Green Flag.
