Jobs at Grow to School CIC

Founded in 2011, Grow to School (GtS) CIC, exists to give children and communities greater access to the outdoors for learning, exploration, and discovery.

Based in Huddersfield, we operate in the education sector providing products and services that create sustainable pathways to increasing access to the outdoors, enhancing educational experiences and outcomes for children. To achieve this, we:

●      deliver food growing programmes that support schools to grow, cook & eat fresh food & engage with the natural environment.

●      deliver curriculum based outdoor learning programmes.

●      deliver training programmes for teachers.

●      provide lesson plans and resources to enable schools to take their classes outside.

Why we do what we do:

We believe it is essential to provide children with opportunities to learn in different ways, to help them understand the world around them, to put their learning in a meaningful context and to learn about and engage with the natural environment. We use outdoor learning, food growing and environment education as a platform for learning and engagement, not just because of the contribution it can make to children’s attainment, wellbeing, knowledge and practical life skills, but also for its moral basis, particularly when issues around food poverty, insecurity and climate change are impacting on young lives.
