Lianne van der Kruk is conducting a survey of school gardens at all Dutch primary schools. The aim is to create more school gardens, with the ultimate mission that every child in primary school has their own garden.
Through a short questionnaire (taking no more than 2 minutes), we are currently investigating how many schools have school gardens and in what form. Schools that do not offer them are important too.
Everyone – parents, teachers and other people involved – can fill in the questionnaire. Who will help by completing and sharing it?

After every holiday, a group goes through certain phases in the process of group formation. The first weeks at the beginning of the school year are called the Golden Weeks. These weeks are particularly suitable for laying a foundation for good group formation and a pleasant atmosphere. Stichting School & Veiligheid offers ten tips.
From 3 to 10 October 2026, it is Our Food Week. A great opportunity to focus with your class at primary school on where our food comes from, how it is made and why healthy and sustainable choices are important. Food education allows pupils not only to learn, but especially to experience. That is why various organisations are joining forces to support schools with inspiring activities, teaching materials and practical tools. Examples include the Mayors’ Breakfast, a free visit to a farm, or shopping vouchers for cooking in the classroom.
Would you like more water to be drunk in the new school year? Then put tap water in the spotlight with your class as a healthy and sustainable thirst quencher during National Tap Water Day on Wednesday 30 September. This way, your pupils will discover why tap water is healthy and how to turn it into a festive drink!
