Introduction
The RHS Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme - previously known as INSET - is available to teachers, support staff, school governors and others who are involved in teaching and inspiring children about plants and gardening. A wide range of topics is available, encompassing the use and development of school grounds, and so provides practical experience, activities and ideas for using horticulture in all areas of the curriculum.
The aims of this programme are:
- To encourage and advise teaching of the National Curriculum both inside and outside the classroom, using plants, school grounds and environmental areas.
- To enthuse teachers about developing and sustaining both flower and vegetable gardens in school grounds.
- To improve knowledge and understanding of plants and horticulture.
Please note
- The courses begin at 10am and finish at approximately 4pm, unless otherwise stated.
- Part of the day is usually spent outdoors, so please bring/wear suitable clothing and footwear.
- Lunch is included in the cost.
- Payment is required before the course date. Please send a non-refundable cheque payable to the RHS or an invoice with your booking.
