Description

There are 100 infant, junior, primary, secondary and special schools in Brighton & Hove and school grounds cover at least 161 hectares (345 acres), or 2% of the total administrative area of the city.

A comprehensive wildlife audit of all the school grounds in Brighton & Hove was carried out from 2000 – 2002. The audit found that school grounds support over 6 hectares (13 acres) of woodland, 2.3 km (1.4 miles) of native hedgerow and 46 ponds, amongst other biodiversity features. However much room for improvement remains – over 90% of the area of school grounds in Brighton & Hove has hardly any wildlife value.

The council has established a school grounds biodiversity group to write and implement a Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) for school grounds. You can read the full report on the school biodiversity audit and find out more about the School Grounds BAP here.

To find out more about schools in Brighton & Hove, see the schools section of the council's website.
