As well as receiving up to £500 worth of outdoor resources of their choosing, school sta will also receive a two-hour training session on how to get the most out of the equipment. e learning resources and the training sessions available are entirely customisable; meaning infant, primary and secondary schools can choose which items will best suit their learners and the setting that they will be delivered in. e programme is also open to special schools and pupil referral units. Applications are being actively encouraged from schools whose pupils are aged 5+ and are passionate about making environmental improvements for the bene t of their pupils, sta and the community.
