'Very enlightening, many thanks for the excellent resources’  

‘This has been so much fun exploring CC in more depth and really thinking about how to embed the issues into my own subject and across the school.’ 

'This course has been incredibly useful. I have broadened my understanding of climate change and learned some very surprising information. I have gained lots of ideas and inspiration for my subject and also at whole school level.’ 

'Such an impactful course! Loads of resources to come back to, thank you for making it so accessible.'

‘Excellent resources, a good balance of reading, media and quizzes, a manageable amount to complete, very useful assignments. I’d already raved far and wide about your climate change curriculum objectives and will be suggesting that this is adopted at a primary school I’m a governor for. Thank you. This is without a doubt one of the best resources out there.’
