Tractors into Schools was a complete success this year with more than 100 schools visited.
During the week February 8 – 12, 2027 we remain optimistic that the same high numbers of engagement will be seen again.
We pair a farmer with a local school to take their tractor into the playground.
When the tractor is there, the farmer will chat about the tractor and what it’s used for on the farm.
There are so many ways to link to the national curriculum too; measuring wheel circumference, discussing seasonal uses of the tractor, talking about forces the tractor uses, the possibilities are endless.
The SAA can provide guidance, training and resources to ensure you are confident to deliver a Tractors into School session.
The farmer will also be able to chat to the school before the visit to arrange the best date and time to suit them and what topics to cover during the visit.
To keep engagement high and to continue providing these incredible opportunities for children we need the support of Suffolk farmers.
If you have a tractor and would be willing to visit a school in your area, please contact us today.
We will be sharing all of the upcoming events with Suffolk schools during the beginning of October.
We look forward to hearing from everyone keen to be involved.
