A pilot RSPCA scheme that helps children to learn about animal welfare is now being rolled out nationally – and your school could get involved.
Earlier this year, the RSPCA launched a pilot teaching resource, Compassionate Class, for schools in Manchester to encourage children to learn about animal welfare. The aim is to inspire the next generation of compassionate individuals and prevent cruelty to animals in the future.
Following the huge success of the pilot project, the animal welfare charity is rolling the scheme out nationally and key stage 2 classes (7 to 11-years-old) are being asked to sign up.
The resources are designed to fit into the national curriculum covering the PSHE in England and PSE in Wales curriculum plus they support Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural education (SMSC) and other core subjects. The programme uses enquiry led learning to create debate about animal welfare which is promoted by the interactive resources available for schools who sign up.
