You can get SuDS into your school through government funding, working with water companies, community groups and your local authority. Contact us for information on current funding opportunities and design, installation and maintenance support.

SuDS features provide visual opportunities for students to learn how rain water can be managed at source. With additional features like planting, nature workshops and signage, SuDS encourage pupils to take care of their green spaces and develop practical planting skills. They provide the opportunity to bring learning outside the classroom.

SuDS can be retrofitted into schools, in fact most school SuDS are built into existing infrastructure. Features like rain gardens, water butts and SuDS planters can be integrated into school grounds.

We include site surveys, design, fabrication, installation and optional maintenance of bespoke SuDS features for your school. As part of our service, we offer nature workshops to students where we teach them about SuDS and help them get stuck in to plant and maintain their green spaces. 

We have a range of SuDS features we can provide depending on your school’s needs and the existing infrastructure on your site, these include SuDS planters, Hybrid SuDS planters and rain gardens.

Choosing the right SuDS features depend on existing infrastructure, flood risk, runoff routes and budget. We carry out site surveys to assess your school before designing SuDS features tailored to your space.

Yes, SuDS are suitable for all types of schools. As flexible solutions that take many forms such as rain gardens, SuDS planters and hybrid SuDS planters, they can be designed to fit into any landscape that requires flood alleviation. 

As planted features, we ensure our SuDS installations feature a diverse planting scheme complete with drought tolerant and pollinator-friendly plants to provide practical SuDS mitigation and boost biodiversity.

SuDS features provide educational opportunities and often enhance the appearance of the school grounds. As they are planted features, schools can get hands-on and take ownership of planting and maintaining their green spaces.

SuDS features like rain gardens and SuDS planters are designed to capture surface/roof runoff, store it and slowly release it back into the drainage system. This helps relieve pressure on these systems and mitigate flood risk.

SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) are nature-based solutions that manage rain water at source such as rain gardens, SuDS planters and Hybrid SuDS planters that have been implemented into school environments.

Get in touch with our team to discuss your site, pupils and learning objectives, and we can advise on the right combination of green infrastructure and nature workshops for your setting.

Parks, green spaces, and natural landscapes provide vital areas for relaxation, exercise, and recreation, allowing students to connect with nature. They also serve as habitats for wildlife, help mitigate the effects of climate change, and play a crucial role in enhancing air quality.

We typically deliver nature workshops at schools in which we have carried out an installation of any planting space such as planters, rain gardens, SuDS planters etc. However we also carry out seed and bulb planting nature workshops for other green spaces in school estates. 

Absolutely. Schools use them to teach about ecosystems, climate resilience and sustainability, while providing pupils with hands-on and engaging experiences in a natural setting.

SuDS create engaging and natural learning environments that students are able to interact with on a daily basis. Features like gardens, pollinator habitats, and outdoor learning areas can inspire curiosity about the environment and enhance play.

Maintaining SuDS solutions at schools and universities involves regular checks and cleaning of features to ensure optimal performance. Scheduled maintenance helps preserve water quality and encourages biodiversity, while also providing valuable learning opportunities for students.

Incorporating green spaces in educational institutions promotes student wellbeing, improving air quality, and creating a connection with nature. These environments enhance learning experiences, support mental health, and encourage physical activity, ultimately contributing to a healthier and more engaged culture.
