Schools and Settings
Our nationwide network of Accredited Trainers offers training in partnership with us. One day, half-day or twilight sessions cover our principles and practices and will help schools identify how they can successfully develop their grounds involving the whole school community.

We are currently developing a similar network of Accredited Early Years Trainers. Find out about becoming an Accredited Facilitator or Early Years Accredited Facilitator here.
If you would like to attend a training event for your school please check Training Diary to see what is coming up in your area. If you would like to set up your own training event, please contact the Accredited Trainers within your area. For larger events and conferences contact Mary Jackson at LTL for training in England, Wales or Northern Ireland and Aileen Thomas at Grounds for Learning in Scotland.
