Education Pack
An Education Pack has been produced by the Isles of Scilly AONB partnership to increase awareness of the Island's wealth of natural and cultural resources.
The Education Pack is designed to help local and visiting schools use the Islands in their teaching of the National Curriculum for all Key Stages 1-4. Some elements can also be used as a stand alone resource without a visit.
The Education Pack is free of charge and can be downloaded by clicking the link below.
