A lot of schools in the UK are now accredited under the Eco Schools programme and so to assist in this process, we have put together a range of unique and creative Eco School ideas which compliment the major themes – namely RENEWABLE ENERGY, BIO-DIVERSITY, SCHOOL GROUNDS, HEALTHY LIVING, RE-CYCLING & GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP.

These products are designed to be fun and engaging so that children will actually want to participate and thereby learn about the sustainability knowledge process, time and time again. Our whole ethos is to create products which involve and engage the children: monitor, measure and use green energy from the sun, water and wind; pedal a dynamo bike to create enough power for laptops and tablets; build an “igloo” den from recycled milk carton bottles.

For ease of ordering and reference, we have put together the various products into clearly defined Eco Schools ideas, categories or zones…so you can start with one package and add on other zones over time. If we are going to make any significant difference to help saving our planet, then awareness about environmental issues and embracing social responsibilities has to come as second nature to this generation of school children.

Growing & Healthy Living Centre

Using part of your garden to grow plants and vegetables is a great way to teach children about nature and watching and caring as the plants grow. It is really rewarding to be able to eat what you grow and what better way to learn about where food comes from. An important part of the garden is recycling and we can build composters and a wormery to ensure that your garden keeps thriving with a fertile soil.

Renewable Energy Centre

The Renewable Energy Centre allows children to create, monitor, measure and use green energy from the sun, water, wind and pedal power. Via an energy-monitoring panel and power unit, students can then use this clean and carbon neutral electricity to power up their laptops, tablets, mobile phones, visualisers, cameras or even a radio station!

Recycling Centre

We all know the importance of re-cycling and it is one of the major eco schools topics. But we think that we have come up with two innovative ways to teach children how to recycle water and rubbish/litter.

Biodiversity Centre

Wild and natural outdoor spaces can sometimes be a rare site in our schools so therefore our children never get to appreciate or be familiar with natural garden spaces, earth and animals. With our Biodiversity Centre however, these products give children the opportunity to learn about the natural environment and witness it at first hand - animals, conservation and growing things whilst all the time getting their hands dirty!
Outdoor Classroom & Eco Hub

Outdoor Classroom & Eco Hub

The Outdoor Classroom and Eco Hub is both a functional and educational building all rolled into one. It offers shade and shelter at playtime but it can also be used as an outdoor teaching area.
