Pupils & Parents
Welcome!
Veganism is growing in the UK, but being a vegan pupil in school can still be challenging. We want to help make all UK schools vegan-inclusive spaces. As a first stage, we want to write to all schools with vegan pupils to help them understand what vegan-inclusive education looks like and why it’s important. You can read & download the letter via the button below, and/or our pack:
Registering your school
Each pin on this map is a school that has been marked as having atleast one vegan pupil.
If your school is not on this map. please click here to add yours (see instructions below map)
Once you’ve added your school we will write to your head teacher. You can read the letter here,
and see the additional guidance available for schools on the schools tab above.
How to add your school to the map
- After opening the map (via the link above), type the name and/or address of your school and select it.
- A pin will now appear on the map where your school is. To confirm your selection click “Add to map”
- That’s it - you’re done! After approximately 2 minutes your pin will appear on the map on this website.
- You’ll need a Google account for this. If it doesn’t work for you, email the school name and area to us at the address below and we’ll add it for you. You can sign up for a google account here
Want to help more?
If you have examples of good or bad practice you can email them to us here: [email protected] so we can share them on our examples section to help schools learn what works and what doesn’t.
If you have experiences you’d like to share about feeling either excluded or included as a vegan pupil we’d love to share these anonymously on our experiences section. Reading your experiences is a powerful way for teachers to understand the impact of their approaches. You can send them to us anonymously at [email protected] with your first initial, age and location.
