Taking the Classroom to the Countryside!
Welcome to the website of the Royal Highland Education Trust.
RHET works to support schools in teaching Scottish schoolchildren the issues surrounding food, farming and the countryside, through farm visits, classroom talks, free resources for schools and the education programme at the Royal Highland Show.
Here you will find all the information you will need about our work across the country, with downloadable resources and information on how to get involved in our projects.
In 2009 RHET celebrated 10 years of giving schoolchildren across Scotland an outdoor education experience, learning first-hand where their food is produced, and how it travels from the farm to their plate.
Farm Visits
RHET can organise a free farm visit for your class!
Getting out of the classroom to see where your food comes from can be an excellent form of outdoor educational trip.
Classroom Speakers
Why not have a real farmer visit your class to talk about how they grow the everyday food we eat?
They will bring with them a range of farming props to show you - and we promise they'll clean their welly boots!
Resources
RHET have a range of curriculum linked resources for the classroom available FREE to schools.
Visit our Resources page for more information or to order a copy for your school.
Royal Highland Show
RHET organises the Education Programme for schools and the public at the Royal Highland Show.
School groups can take advantage of a wide variety of bookable and drop-in educational activities relating to food & farming on this exciting day out!
