NGO Educational Trust Releases Grey Partridge Lesson Plans

More News

The National Gamekeepers' Educational Trust is delighted to add a series of lesson plans and an accompanying workbook to its Grey Partridge educational resources.

Created by teacher, Nicola Sutton, the lesson plan series provides teachers with the guidance to make best use of the fabulous resources on the Grey Partridge. Nicola's work has provided the important link between our fact-filled resources and the classroom, making it easier for teachers to utilise these resources in a way that meets the demands of the National Curriculum.

The lesson plans will guide teachers and students alike on a journey of exploration into this Biodiversity Action Plan species. Students will learn about its life-cycle and habitat as well as conservation issues such as the relationship between Grey Partridge numbers and modern farming techniques and predator control.

Nicola will continue to work with the NGO ET to produce further lesson plans for our other teaching resources.

Notes to Editors

ABOUT THE NGO EDUCATIONAL TRUST

The National Gamekeepers' Organisation Educational Trust was established in 1999 and is Registered Charity number 1076923.

As the name suggests, its founding body was the National Gamekeepers' Organisation (NGO). But the NGO Educational Trust is an independent charity, with separate Trustees who are bound by the Charity Commission to conduct their work in a balanced and factual manner.

Forty-nine out of fifty people say they have never met a gamekeeper. Public knowledge of gamekeeping is very low and entirely dependent on what is reported by the media. We want to present the true facts about the profession. We particularly want the young to know what gamekeepers do.
