Daffodil Schools Challenge

Daffodil Schools Challenge is an active citizenship and fundraising project for secondary school students aged 11-16.

The project challenges students to:

• raise awareness for Marie Curie Cancer Care
• raise money to help Marie Curie Nurses continue providing free care and support to terminally ill patients.

Working in teams, students will construct a visual display based on the charity's daffodil emblem either in their school grounds or local community.

Benefits for teachers

• Free comprehensive teaching resources created by teachers including lesson plans and activity sheets to help work through project tasks.
• Lesson plans that link the challenge with Key Stage 3 and 4 in subjects such as Citizenship, PHSE, Business Studies, English, and Art and Design
• Guidance notes on educating students of the work of Marie Curie Cancer Care

Benefits for students

• Learning how to work as part of a team.
• Experiencing working on a school-wide or community project from brief to completion.
• Building creative, analytical and practical skills.
• Taking part in an activity for a worthy cause.
