Schools

9 more schools and 1280 more visitors as part of school groups visited the Show this year. Many schools are still closing for the day to allow pupils, parents and staff to take full advantage of all the Show has to offer, both educational and recreational.

Will we see you on the 22nd & 23rd June 2011? We hope so!

Upon filling out the evaluation form at the Sustainable Schools Showcase on 3rd March 2010, Queen Elizabeth Grammar School entered themselves into an, unknown, prize draw. The school now finds itself the proud owner of the plastic bottle greenhouse, showcased at the event.


Built by Peter Metcalfe (City of Lincoln Council) and volunteers from Lincoln Christ's Hospital School and the local community. The greenhouse was delivered and erected by Peter along with Tamara Walters and Richard Reeve of EPIC Lincolnshire. The school couldn't be happier. The Garden Club are due to start using it after the Easter holidays.

Pictures will be added to this website as soon as we have them!

Soroptimist International Lincoln and District have donated £25 to the Royal Marsden Hospital in lieu of the fee they expected to pay for a talk by the Education Resources Manager on the EPIC Centre. Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, who are founded the EPIC project, wholeheartedly support their generosity.

All the schools in Lincoln recently got involved in an event at the EPIC Centre where they leant how recycling in Lincolnshire can really make a difference around the world.

More than 200 children met gorillas, ate a waste free lunch and learnt a lot more about how they could reduce waste, reuse things they might have thrown away and to recycle more carefully.

Ian Taylor, Environmental Promotions Manager for the City of Lincoln Council, said:
This is a fun and exciting way to get a very serious message across to the next generation. These kids are the people who will have to carry on with the battle against climate change, so hopefully learning about it when they’re young will instil a sense of responsibility in them that we older generations didn’t have.

Over six hundred visitors from primary and secondary schools throughout Lincolnshire attended the Sustainable Schools Spring Showcase at the EPIC Centre on Wednesday 4th March. With over 100 exhibitors and 24 presentations it was a very full day. Whether attending as a teacher looking for materials and inspiration on the sustainability theme or as a senior manager involved in the finances and development of a school there was a lot to see, hear and discuss.
