🎣 A different setting. A new opportunity to thrive.

“Watching pupils sit silently around a lake, fully focused and engaged who would struggle to stay in their seat in a classroom has really shown me the magic of fishing.”

For pupils taking part in Fishing for Schools in Kent, learning beside the water offers a different way to engage, learn and challenge themselves.

🎣 Through fishing, young people can develop patience, build confidence, work together and the pride in learning a new skill.

Sometimes, a change of setting can open up new opportunities for learning.
