Many schools lack green space to use for gardening and may be reluctant to give over what there is for growing. However, you can still do a lot in by using a variety of planters and pots.
The ground here at Armitage was largely rubble and hardcore with a little poor quality soil. The school laid weed suppressing fabric over it and then added a layer of chipbark several years ago. We used a mixture of old wooden planters, conventional garden pots, an old water butt that had leaks cut in half and some pallets stacked up to make an insect hotel. It needs more watering and compost adding than planting into the ground would, but it works well.
