GROW at School

St Brendan's Grow at School

Artane, Co. Dublin, Ireland

The Programme

GROW at School is a food education programme that aims to increase food literacy in primary schools. Through garden-based learning and hands-on growing experiences, we help students develop a deeper understanding of where healthy, sustainable food comes from. We call this food empathy.

GIY provide schools with food growing materials and curriculum-linked lesson plans that support school gardens, classroom growing, and learning the why behind GIY (Grow It Yourself). Put together, the programme aims to change knowledge, attitudes and behaviour around food.

We've teamed up with ChangeX so that you can access the knowledge and support you need to start a growing programme at your school and if there's an active fund in your area, you can apply for funding to purchase all you need to start an outdoor onsite classroom. You can also download innovative curriculum led teaching resources to complement the school's learning programme and ensure we have a generation of food literate and food conscious kids championing health and sustainability.

The Polytunnel has been constructed and we are in the process of adding raised beds made from timber, top soil and planting fruits & vegetables. It has been a tremendous success particularly with the SEN pupils!

I have shared a folder of our plans for an outdoor classroom, polytunnel and mud kitchen in our school. We had our team meeting on Tuesday 11th May but unfortunately I forgot to take a screenshot of the meeting. Would it be okay to take a photo of our next meeting instead?
This will greatly benefit our school. We are hoping to allow our ASD unit to create a sensory trail in this area also. It will provide a year-round outdoor classroom that all pupils can access. Shortfall in funding will be made up through fundraising and a Dublin City Council Grant.
