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.
