Description

Fish in School Hero (#FishHeroes) seeks to give pupils a chance to prepare, cook and eat fish, aiming to develop more positive attitudes towards eating fresh fish sourced in the UK.

FishHeroes is a comprehensive programme designed to transform learning and includes:

  • Fish in the curriculum - giving ideas, resources and recipes to use in the classroom

  • Fish deliveries to schools - providing cost effective ways for pupils to handle and cook with fish

  • Teacher CPD - featuring hands-on experiences to up-skill and learn something new and cascade learning to pupils

  • Pupil masterclasses - enriching pupils fish experiences through hands-on learning activities.

#FishHeroes is delivered through an exceptional partnership created by the Food Teacher’s Centre with Fishmongers’ Company’s Fisheries Charitable Trust.

#FishHeroes is open to all secondary school food teachers in the Food Teachers Centre Facebook group.

  • Once I have purchased my course how do I log in?

    Once I have purchased my course how do I log in?

    When you purchase training, you are asked to give your direct email and contact details. This email is used to log you in. TYPE IT CAREFULLY.  

    • If someone is booking on your behalf, such as the school finance officer - make sure they add you as the guest/participant and give your correct email address
    • Its very important not to create multiple Cademy accounts. Just use your school email address. Otherwise it is difficult to log in and out of each email account and locate different courses.

    If the page will not load when you click on the START COURSE button or have a red box ERROR MESSAGE saying 'there was an issue loading the order'.  

    Seek help from your school IT SUPPORT, as this shows that your school FIREWALL is blocking the site locally.  You can test if your school is blocking your course by trying to access via:

    • your home internet connection, or
    • your phone using mobile data, not the school Wi-Fi

    If it works outside the school network, the next step would be to ask your school IT team to allow access to Cademy, especially:

    • cademy.io
    • api.cademy.io
    • *.cademy.io
  • I have two accounts with different email addresses - how do I log in?

    If you have created two accounts on Cademy, this can cause users some problems. Your computer saves your log in details in the cookies. So you need to log out and log in with your school address - or clear the cookies for the site.  You might also solve this using an 'INCOGNITO' browser tab

    Its the main reason we suggest that people ONLY use their school log in. We can merge your personal account onto your school account on request.
