Grounds For Learning
Grounds for Learning, part of the UK charity Learning through Landscapes, helps Scottish schools and early years settings make the most of their outdoor spaces for play and learning.
"School grounds are essential to children’s learning and development, providing opportunities for healthy exercise, creative play, making friends, learning through doing and getting in touch with the natural world. We believe all children have the right to enjoy and benefit from well designed, managed and used school grounds."

Eco Schools is an international initiative designed to encourage whole-school action for the environment. It is an environmental management tool, learning resource and recognised award scheme.
They now have over 3,000 schools registered with the Eco Schools programme in Scotland and over 17% of these schools have attained the highest award level - the Green Flag.

Garden Organics For Kids
The Duchy Originals Garden Organic for Schools project is a nationwide campaign which helps children grow vegetables at school, and learn more about their food. By setting up small gardens in or near the school grounds, children can learn about how food is produced and its link with the countryside. It also helps teach them how to enjoy eating a wide range of vegetables as part of a healthy diet.
