Launch of Sprout Up Schools

There’s a great new initiative in Lambeth called Sprout Up Schools. It is a kind of ‘one stop shop’ for any school that is eager to explore the possibilities of outdoor learning, growing food and re-connecting with Nature.

Founder Seonaid Royall has worked with Jubilee Primary School and other schools in the Windmill Cluster. She co-designed (with the kids) an RHS show garden ‘Believe in Tomorrow’ for Hampton Court in 2019 and shares a passion for change.

Sprout Up School’s mission is to help schools make the most of their outdoor spaces and reconnect children with nature. Seonaid’s belief is that when children have a strong relationship with the outside world, they’re happier, more confident, and more responsive.

It’s good for kids, it’s good for teachers, and it’s good for the planet. Together, we can develop a plan to maximise the potential of schools outdoor spaces and provide the skills, knowledge, and partnerships necessary to help make it happen.” Seonaid said.

“We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Sprout Up Schools on past outdoor projects and are thrilled with how successful the various projects and gardening clubs have taken shape.” (from a Head Teacher)
