Rhyl Primary School is in Camden Town, London, in England. We believe in the power of outdoor learning, despite the fact that we are not blessed with large grounds. In fact, we have created green spaces from the most concrete of spots, including a brilliant garden in a school car park. We do a lot of learning outside, with a dedicated teacher whose responsibiity is sustainability and encouraging learning outside the classroom. We have a plot on a local community garden and an apiary at a nearby city farm.

The program is developing and implementing integrated curricula in grades 2 and 6-8 incorporating concepts such as sustainability, community/place-based learning, organic gardening, greenhouse, composting, and recycling. An interest exists in creating linkages with school lunch reform initiatives.

A emerging and developing partnership exists among the Pullman Public Schools, Washington State University College of Education, and the Washington State University Center for Environmental Research, Education & Outreach
