Eco Schools or How to involve your school and its pupils in practical Citizenship, PSHE, Geography and Science (plus a few other subjects it you’re creative!)
The Centre is visited by over 4,000 pupils every year and lies eight kilometres south of Dartford in north west Kent.
Its main aim is to support teachers of all key stages in delivering the National Curriculum, particularly science, geography and history, through providing pupils with practical experience of the natural and built environment around Horton Kirby and the nearby Darent Valley.
In addition it is a focus for the Continual Professional Development of teachers through a regular programme of INSET, mainly centering on geography, science, environmental maths, history and art. Community orientated courses are also delivered at the Centre.

The geography pages have been expanded and revised to provide you with access to a range of information about the activities of the geography team. We will be updating the news regularly, so we hope you will bookmark these pages and return for the latest news on geography teaching and learning.
In partnership with the Geographical Association and Royal Geographical Society with the IBG, the QCA geography team has developed the Innovating with geography website to help schools plan and teach geography courses that will engage and motivate pupils aged from 5-14.
