29 Sep 2009 New schools strategy highlights the vital importance of grounds
The Scottish Government launched its new strategy for schools last week, which includes a requirement for the Government and Local Authorities to "consider how to make best use of school grounds and the outdoor spaces as an integral part of the learning environment ensuring that landscape design is at a par with building design"
The strategy includes a case study of how one school has developed its grounds and highlights GfL's important role in advising and supporting Local Authorities to create high quality outdoor spaces.
We look forward to working with Local Authorities across Scotland as the next wave of new building gets under way. To find out how we can support all those working on new school projects contact aseaman@ltl.org.uk
