Sustainable Schools - How we can help
The Sustainable Schools framework is presented in the form of ‘doorways’ (sustainability themes), of which there are eight, discrete entry points or places where schools can establish or develop their sustainability practices.
We provide supportive outdoor activities that encourage healthy eating, inclusion, successful outcomes in a safe and engaging way for children who are fully able and who have special educational needs.
Be Healthy :- Many children today have little experience of where food comes from or how to use natural produce in their daily lives. Growing your own food or engaging farmers and their animals gives children a completely different perception of food and healthy eating.

Stay Safe :- We teach children the knowledge to keep them safe when working on allotments, building outdoor art, performing conservation activities or visiting farms.
| Tool Usage | Farm Rules | Use
of Safety Equipment |
Lifting Training | Safe camp techniques |
Enjoy and achieve :- Children can have real challenges with the structure of traditional education. Our approach is built around engaging activities where children enjoy what they are doing, see positive outcomes, receive the due praise and interact with the trainers and other students.
| Outdoor Art | Conservation |
Fencing | Learning Knots | Plant Propagation |
Make a positive contribution :- Working with children excluded from their normal schools has shown that engagement in outdoor construction and growing activities can really bring a change to their attitudes and stability within the school environment enabling them to start to contribute rather than disrupt.
| Raised Bed Construction | Willow Structures | Whittling | Art Installations | Harvesting Vegetables |
Achieve economic well-being :- The evidence shows clearly that educational achievement is the most effective route out of poverty.
| We provide schools external services and activities that support a number
of the "Sustainable Schools" frameworks.
Each engagement is fully tailored to the schools and children's needs. Activities can range from full day to shorter craft sessions. All activities can be linked to other educational curriculum thus building and cross linked framework of activities that feeds into subjects like Art, Cookery, Biology, Materials etc. For more information see the following.
