Benchmark Scheme

Register your school to gain access to the benchmarking scheme. This has five levels and at each level further resources are available to help you develop your gardening in school. As you achieve each level in the scheme, you will get an award and certificate.

Why use the benchmarking?

The benchmarking is a scheme of good practice in gardening. By using it you can see how to develop your teaching using the school garden. There are five levels:-

• Planning
• Getting started
• Growing and diversifying
• Sharing best practice
• Celebrating with the wider community

Each level has information and resources attached to support you in growing plants and developing gardening at you school.

How do I register?

Fill in the details for your school on the registration page and answer the questions on the benchmark scheme. Only one member of staff can fill in the benchmark questions but all the resources are available to the school by using the school user name.
