| Abstract: | The National Education Nature Park ("Nature Park") is a new and untested whole school natural environmental programme, open to all nurseries, schools and colleges in England. It intends to transform the way climate education is taught; support young people to connect with nature and take climate-positive actions; and increase biodiversity of school grounds. Ecorys UK delivered a process evaluation to gather learning on programme implementation across education settings in Year 1 (January-July 2024) and Year 2 (September 2024-July 2025) of the Nature Park. The mixed method evaluation provided an evidence base of what good implementation looks like for education settings and pupils and perceived progress towards achieving the programme outcomes and impacts. It also assessed the value for money (VfM) of the programme. This report summarises the evaluation findings which were used to inform continuous improvement during the early stages of delivery and could be useful to other programmes with similar aims. |
