Deadline: 9-Jun-23
The Learning through Landscape is accepting applications for the Local School Nature Grants Program to improve their outdoor learning provision, enabling thousands more children to profit from time in nature.
The project is funded by players of the People’s Postcode Lottery and their funding trusts (either People’s Postcode Trust, Postcode Neighbourhood Trust, Postcode Places Trust, Postcode Society Trust, Postcode Local Trust, or Postcode Community Trust).
Product Catalogue
- With a Local School Nature Grant, you’ll have a budget of £500 to mix and match on items from their product catalogue. They offer a wide variety of products to appeal to a broad range of age groups and projects. All the products are delivered direct to you from their partner suppliers.
Training Catalogue
- You’ll be able to select an outdoor learning training session from a range of themes. A member of their skilled team will then deliver an engaging session for your staff for up to half a day. You will be offered a choice of dates, but they do ask that the training is delivered within the funding round.
Key Details
- The total spend on products cannot exceed £500.
- All prices include VAT and delivery.
- Any under-spend will be used to help further schools partake in the project and cannot be reimbursed to the school.
- Schools are welcome to select the same item multiple times, as long as the £500 budget is not exceeded.
- Items will be delivered to your site within three months of a successful application.
- They manage all the ordering and payments – you simply make a choice via the online catalogue.
- They cannot let you ‘top up’ the grant.
- The training will take place at your own site.
- You will have a choice of themes for the training session.
- The training will be outdoors and interactive (their preference), or delivered remotely online.
- Up to 30 staff can take part, although up to 15 (including the trainer) is preferred.
- They include handouts and follow up information, including lesson plans and ideas.
- You will have a choice of times and dates for the training session.
- All their staff are following strong Covid-19 protection protocols as well as their standard risk management processes.
Eligibility Criteria
- The grants are available to all schools and early years settings in England, Scotland, and Wales only. Early years settings must employ at least five staff and have a dedicated building, either stand alone or part of a school. School nurseries and the attached school will be classed as one setting.
- They cannot fund outside of the geographical limits. Individual childminders are not eligible to apply. If you have previously been awarded a Local School Nature Grant, you cannot apply again.
