Stockbridge Technology Centre is a research centre based on a farm and has 3 acres of glasshouses used for a range of commercial activities. STC runs a range of successful projects for primary schools in the area. The main aim of these projects is to help reconnect children with food production. This is done mainly through practical activities and learning about food production, farming, habitats and conservation.
