School Grounds Services

Bishops Wood Centre staff have much experience of working with school communities, architects and landscape contractors. We also supervise projects in schools so that children and teachers can be involved in all aspects of school grounds design and development.

We offer a number of CPD courses designed to help develop your School Grounds – add link to the CPD document.
