Deliver high-quality sessions with ready-made lesson plans, learner tracking, badges, safeguarding tools and school-friendly reporting — all in one place.

Angling education tools in Clubnest

Teach Skills. Track Progress. Grow Confidence.

Clubnest is purpose-built angling education software for schools, junior clubs and community groups. Plan KS2–KS4 angling lessons, capture consent and medical info, record skills and assessments, issue digital badges and export school-friendly reports — with safeguarding at the centre.

Use our templates for water safety, fish care, casting, knots and rigs, habitat and conservation, plus reflection and personal goal setting. Adapt everything to your venue, season and learner needs.

Schools (KS2–KS4)

Map lessons to curriculum topics and cross-curricular links (PE, science, geography). Evidence learning with registers, badges and reports.

Junior Clubs

Build progression pathways with milestones and awards. Keep parents informed with updates, certificates and photos (where consented).

Coaches & Tutors

Plan sessions, track skills on the bank (offline-friendly) and export impact stats for funders and committees.

Ready-to-Use Learning Themes

Water Safety & Risk

Safe bankside behaviour, PPE, throw lines, dynamic risk checks.

Fish Care & Handling

Unhooking mats, barbless hooks, species welfare and correct returns.

Casting & Accuracy

Whip and waggler drills, targets, distance steps and reflection.

Knots & Rigs

Blood knot, loop-to-loop, shotting patterns and hooklength choices.

Habitat & Conservation

Litter picks, invasive species awareness and habitat care.

Recording & Reflection

Catch logs, personal goals, peer feedback and next steps.

A Complete Education Workflow

1) Plan a curriculum by term or half-term

Clone a template, set learning outcomes and risk checks, attach resources (PDFs, images, slides) and assign venues or swims. Tag lessons to year groups and topics to keep evidence organised.

2) Prepare learners with consent and medical info

Import class or group lists, capture emergency contacts, medical notes and photo consent. Generate printable registers and laminates for bankside use and quick headcounts.

3) Deliver activities and assess skills — even offline

Use mobile-friendly checklists and timing prompts. Log formative assessment against learners in seconds and add quick notes per activity. Everything syncs once you’re back online.

4) Reward progress with badges and certificates

Define criteria for each badge (e.g., safe casting, fish care, conservation action). Clubnest awards badges automatically when criteria are met and generates certificates with your branding.

5) Report for schools, funders and committees

Export anonymised participation and impact stats, attendance summaries, badge counts and narrative reflections. Provide governors and committees with consistent, professional evidence.

Easy Integrations

Calendar feeds, email tools and optional payment flows for trips or extras.

Safeguarding by Design

Role-based permissions, incident/accident logs, audit trails and data retention tools.

Inclusive by Default

Accessible layouts, clear language and alternative activities to support different needs.

What Is Angling Education Software?

Angling education software helps schools and clubs deliver safe, structured outdoor learning. It brings together lesson planning, risk assessments, consent, attendance, skills tracking, badges and reporting so staff spend less time on admin and more time teaching.

For schools, the value is clear: align outdoor learning to KS2–KS4, build cross-curricular links (PE, science, geography), and export evidence for SLT and governors. For clubs, it turns informal coaching into a consistent pathway that grows confidence — and participation.
