Welcome to NFU Education
As a small team of former teachers, we understand the challenges faced by the profession, so all our resources and initiatives have been designed with three main goals in mind:
- To save teachers time and reduce workload
- To spark learners’ passion and enthusiasm for STEM subjects
- To convey important messages about food, farming, and nutrition through a cross‑curricular, project‑based approach
Browse our site to find high‑quality primary STEM teaching resources and projects that are closely linked to the National Curriculum.
Harvest Thali
Join us on the 4th October 2023 for a quest across the countryside to collect all the ingredients for our interactive Harvest Thali.
We’ll be learning how the key ingredients are grown and produced, meeting the people responsible for growing and producing them and joining our super star chef, Rayeesa Asghar-Sandys, in her kitchen to mix them into a range of delicious thali dishes to celebrate the end of Harvest!
