How to get in touch with our team.
Learning, citizenship and sustainability…
Groundwork has a team of trained teachers and youth workers who understand the unique challenges schools face and are sensitive to the varied requirements of different schools.
Our experienced staff have the contacts and the know-how to identify sources for funding and the experience in creating programmes that are tailored to meet National Curriculum targets, including the new citizenship requirements. We also work with schools to improve their grounds; creating stimulating, diverse environments for children to learn and play in.
