School grounds can offer a rich and varied landscape for wildlife and there are many ways to improve it and to encourage wild flowers and animals, why not install a wildife pond, build a 'bug hotel', create a wild-flower rich meadow, or even add a woodland walk to your school grounds. There are many benefits from learning outdoors.
There are also loads of local organisations who host school trips, teaching the national curriculum outdoors.
