Education

Working with schools

Education is one of the cornerstones of our mission.

Funding permitting, we can offer schools a range of opportunities for young people to connect with, explore, and learn about Norfolk rivers, aligned with the national curriculum. This includes our ‘Journey of a river’ trip, which focuses on the River Glaven or a classroom-based session.

We can also guide you on how to organise an educational visit to a river near your school.

Get in touch to discuss how we can support the needs of your classes and curriculum. Email education@norfolkriverstrust.org
