Partners and friends
The people we work alongside.
Some we're built on, some we grew out of, and some set the standard we point our learners towards. Here's who they are.
Clubmate
The club and fishery management platform we run on. Bookings, memberships, the Diploma awards and member messaging all sit on Clubmate. It's built by anglers who sit on committees and run fisheries, which is why it fits the job.

Peterborough & District Angling Association
The club that started School Of Fish. One of the country's oldest and busiest angling clubs, founded in 1875, fishing Ferry Meadows, the River Nene and the Welland. The school grew out of their coaching work, and plenty of it still happens alongside their members.

Institute of Fisheries Management
The professional body for fishery management in the UK, running since 1969. Their members are the fisheries managers, regulators and scientists who look after the waters we all fish. We're working with them on the fishery side of the Diploma so our School Of Fish Graduates understand what a healthy fishery really takes.

Canal & River Trust
The charity that looks after 2,000 miles of canals and rivers across England and Wales, and owns the fishing rights to nearly all of it. Their Let's Fish programme runs hundreds of free taster sessions a year, spring through autumn, getting families and first-timers onto the bank with all the kit and bait provided. Those sessions only run because there are qualified coaches to lead them, and that's our part. School Of Fish trains some of the coaches who deliver Let's Fish, so the people teaching beginners on the towpath have the qualification and the backing to do it properly.
