To help primary school teachers use the area's rich landscape heritage in curriculum delivery we have developed lots of downloadable education resources.

We also run a primary school education programme "High Weald Heroes". For schools signing up to undertaking the 5 High Weald Hero actions our Education Officer, Laura Sweeting, offers a wide-ranging "pick and mix" package of activities that includes themed assemblies, workshops and field trips.

In Kent this package is provided jointly with the Kent High Weald Partnership.
