New Invention Junior School Cannock Road
We are looking for a Creative Practitioner to help us plan and develop our school garden. We are looking for a Landscape Architect, Landscaper, Outdoor practitioner etc. who will work with our design team, a class of year 5 and their teacher.
We would like to explore the following question:
“How can we use a live project to enhance our teaching and learning in school and link it to the curriculum?”
The school has acquired a piece of land which it is planning to develop into a garden. The land is currently occupied by an empty house, which we are hoping is going to come done in the spring half term.
We would like to work with a designer/landscape architect to work with us through the whole process of re-imagining and planning the new site. By then end of the project we hope to have a plan & budget which we can put to the school to be implemented. We want to use this plan to fundraise and apply for sponsorship and funding.
We can see lots of learning opportunities where we can use this project to bring the curriculum alive, but are really looking forward to hearing your ideas how we could link this to learning.
The project needs to start in January, we are hoping to start planning the week after interview.
The Project will need to happen on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays, over a number of weeks.
This project will be a research project to see how we can become co-constructors in Teaching and Learning and bring new approaches to learning into the school.
