Leigh School — Outdoor Classroom Dream.

We'd love to help fund a permanent outdoor learning space at Leigh School – a dedicated home for native-bee science, soil exploration, biodiversity and resilience activities, right where our pilot began.

The idea

A permanent space for hands-on learning, at the school where it all started.

Leigh School has hosted the Six Resilience Labs since the very first pilot session. A purpose-built outdoor classroom there would give the programme – and the whole school – a lasting home for native-bee science, soil exploration, biodiversity study and resilience activities, rain or shine.

What exists today

Leigh School's own grounds and gardens, already used for the Six Resilience Labs
An established relationship with Leigh School's staff and students through the pilot

Proposed, not yet funded or approved

A dedicated covered outdoor teaching space
Built-in soil and planting beds for the Bee Grounded and Bee Native labs
Simple, durable seating and workbenches for hands-on sessions
A permanent home for the school's native-bee sanctuary
Weatherproof storage for shared teaching equipment

Why it matters

A lasting space, not just a visiting programme.

Right now, each Six Labs session is set up and packed away. A permanent outdoor classroom would let Leigh School's native-bee sanctuary, soil beds and resilience learning stay in place year-round – for this group of students and the ones who follow them. We'll show a funding target and progress bar here once we have a verified, school-agreed budget to report.
