The partnership will focus on promoting the benefits of fishing as a tool for learning and personal development.
The Angling Trust Partnership
The partnership between Dover Park Primary School and the Angling Trust aims to promote the benefits of fishing as a tool for learning and personal development.
The training has also enabled the staff to develop their coaching skills, enhancing their ability to support students with different abilities and needs.
Fishing can also have a range of social and cognitive benefits for children. • It can help develop their social skills, as they learn to work together with others and communicate effectively. • The patience and focus required to wait for a bite can help improve their concentration and attention span.
The partnership has been in place for several years, and it has already shown remarkable results.
The partnership has been shown to have a positive impact on pupils’ mental health and wellbeing. By engaging in activities such as fishing and conservation, pupils are able to develop a sense of calm and relaxation, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety.
