Professor John McKendrick is conducting the 2025 Scottish School Grounds Survey in partnership with Learning through Landscapes, Play Scotland and NatureScot. The survey is being distributed to all schools in Scotland in January, gathering data on the provision and use of school grounds.
Schools who participate will be entered into a prize draw to win outdoor learning and play resources, such as training and den-building equipment.
The 2025 survey builds on the 2005 Scottish School Grounds Survey. The findings from that report have informed decisions on outdoor education and play provision across Scotland across a radically changed education, societal and environmental landscape.

Only one response per school is required, via the Headteacher.
