Red Funnel has been shortlisted for a national educational award, recognising inspiring experiences for young people outside the classroom. Red Funnel believes it’s the first ferry company in the UK to develop a significant bank of curriculum linked pre-visit, on-site, and post-visit learning resources. The company worked with Education Destination to develop 190 resources for Key Stages 1-5 and adult learners available in its floating classroom.
Kevin George, CEO at Red Funnel, said: “We are delighted to have been shortlisted for this Council for Learning Outside the Classroom award which recognises the team’s hard work in providing educational resources for young people. We’ve had some superb feedback from schools and education providers which proves that our floating classroom concept is really beneficial.”
Peter Tomlinson from Education Destination said: “This prestigious nomination from the official body confirms the quality and innovative nature of the materials which Red Funnel Ferries can offer young people.”
