Growing Schools 

Growing Schools is a Government programme which aims to encourage and inspire all schools to use the outdoors as a context for learning across the curriculum, but particularly focuses on food, nature, geography and science. The Growing Schools section of the Teachernet provides a valuable resource for teachers to find out more about all elements of outdoor learning.

Solardome & Growing Schools

• Solardome are helping to encourage the UK and our future generations to get back to nature and start growing their own.

• Solardome’s unique, eco-friendly domes maximise the sun’s rays in the most efficient way - extending the growing season, the amounts you can grow, and enhancing the health of your plants.

• By using a dome to grow your own produce you can reduce your individual carbon footprint by growing locally and organically.

• In schools you can educate children about where their food comes from and they can see it develop from the seed to the canteen.

• The domes further support sustainability as they are almost completely recyclable and don’t encourage our throw away society, instead they last for decades in some of the most extreme climates world wide with virtually no ongoing maintenance.

• In schools you can use them as a truly multipurpose outdoor space; for outdoor learning, growing initiatives, eco and science projects, learning about climate change or as a min-eden project or biome
