About

Since 2007, Fishing for Schools has taken disadvantaged children and young people out of the classroom and into the countryside, helping them re-engage and thrive in school, educational life and beyond the classroom. Our concept is to offer fishing related topics as a way back into formal education and learning.

Pupils benefit hugely from enrichment activities outside the classroom setting, helping build confidence, raise aspirations and self-esteem. 

Fishing for Schools offers a unique opportunity for children and young people to step outside their comfort zone and achieve success in something new. We help develop resilience and determination through learning a new skill that requires patience, focus and expertise. We offer an opportunity to experience a new environment and a new activity with people and experts they may not normally meet.

Aimed at 10 to 16-year olds and offered free of charge to schools, the Fishing for Schools remit 
extends to primary schools, comprehensive schools, special educational needs schools and pupil referral units
