Priestlands sustainable school

Total project costs £19,773
Fund grant £7365 (37%)

Priestlands School in Lymington has a walled garden project which has been successful in engaging students in exploring sustainable living and how they can reduce their environmental footprint.

Funding was provided for a period during 2007 and 2008 to expand the reach of the project - to involve more students and link the garden into the curriculum so that it becomes a mainstream learning resource.

Total project costs £39,635
Fund grant £29,726 (75%)

Building on the success of the walled garden, Prieslands School was keen to move towards becoming a truly sustainable school. Due to the SDF support, the school now has a Sustainable School Co-ordinator, which has enabled a variety of initiatives, actions and ideas to be taken forward including the installation of solar panels and the introduction of an Eco-prefects Scheme
