• gaining knowledge and understanding by studying the interaction between natural and human systems
• developing practical skills of map reading, observation, enquiry and surveying
• enhancing academic skills through recording, analysing and deduction
• building social skills through team work
• enhancing pupils confidence by interacting with the wider world outside the constraints of the class room

The Friends of Biss Meadows wish to partner with a school or college who will engage children and young people with this local asset.

We envisage the school or college managing an educational section of this web site. This could contain:

• teaching materials to support the various key stages and/or A levels
• practical fieldwork exercises based on Biss Meadows
• a showcase for pupils projects that can be shared with parents, friends, the community and other schools
