Bringing the National Park into the classroom and connecting learners to the outdoors with Curriculum learning resources and activities

We want everyone who learns in the Lake District to go home with some simple messages such as 'The Lake District is a National Park' and 'Everyone is welcome'. We've produced a simple leaflet for teachers and outdoor educators. Check out core messages, simple learning messages and how we work in Learning messages (PDF). Below you can access our teacher resource pages on a range of subjects, discover educational visits and attractions that support you and your learners.
