We are so pleased that you have found your way here, to join us as we learn about our coasts and oceans. Join us and find out what YOU can do to protect the oceans!

WHAT IS THE 2 MINUTE BEACH SCHOOL?

We teach, right on the beach in Bude. And, for those who can’t make it to the beach, we provide inspirational online resources here.

Our outside classroom is naturally inspiring, ignites imagination and confidence in everyone whilst developing a love of the ocean.

You can join in on a drop-in group or book your class or entire school for an all day session with us. Students are taught all things coastal from learning about the tides, to understanding the intrinsic like between plastic and climate change. Our sessions are full of environmental based games and learning too, with a whole heap of inspiration. Whether you are a tot or a retiree, you’ll explore our beaches, delve into rockpools and discover our coastal habitats.

FOR TEACHERS

Come and visit us and explore our coastlines for free! Just get in touch with CLAIRE and we will be happy to tailor something for you.

All you need to do is get your group to the beach and then ensure you have the staff numbers present during the session so we’ve the right adult to child ratios.

We can work with you to deliver sessions that fit in with your curriculum from plastic pollution to coastal erosion and climate change. They are completely stand-alone or we could work with a group on a regular basis, linking in with our overarching themes of outdoor, environmental education. It really is flexible so that your students get the most out of the experience. Our tag line of “Educate. Inspire. Protect.” sums it up in a nutshell.

What about an Inset Day?

If staff at your school would like a taster of what your students could experience, then why not book in for an Inset Day session? This could be for a couple of hours or a full day.

Can’t get to Bude?

No problem, let us come to you! Either virtually or in person, we are happy to come along and take part in assemblies, classes or after school clubs. Q and A’s, live demonstrations from our beach, and anything in between, we can make it happen.

If we do come to you, we charge out an expense fee that can be disclosed when we chat.

ONLINE RESOURCES

We are here to help you to provide that little bit of extra environmental education at home!

If you are a little too far to visit us in person we are excited to bring our beach into your home, and make you fall in love with it too! Not only will you learn all about our coastline and all the creatures that inhabit it, but we’ll also show you what you can do to protect it, 2 Minutes at a time. Check out our online lessons below!
