Montgomery Primary Academy in Sparkbrook Reinvigorate Playground with Shade Sail Canopy

Montgomery Primary Academy had a delightful playground that was well used by the children, but no one could have imagined how smart it would look with a brand new shade sail canopy installed.

Project Specification

Product: Maxima Sail™
Size: 4100mm x 4100mm
Steelwork:
- Squirrel Grey - RAL NO. 7000
Fabric:
- Midnight Blue

Shade Sails from our Maxima Range come in a variety of colours and configurations and they can enhance almost any space. The fabric can be shade cloth or waterproof PVC and in this case, the waterproof fabric was chosen in a smart Victoria Blue colour.

The shade sail was installed at 4100mm x 4100mm on four upright posts. This gave a lovely wide area of shade which the children can use in any number of different ways. They can read outdoors, play and socialise with friends and perhaps even have the occasional outdoor lesson. Post pads were added to the uprights for an extra level of safety for the children at Montgomery Primary School.

With more than 40 years’ experience of helping schools transform outdoor areas if you are considering a canopy project we would be pleased to talk through some ideas with you.

How playing outdoors can benefit school children with their development and how we can help them to spend more time outside

Converging studies support that children’s outdoor play is essential for their healthy development and academic performance. This topic raises the benefits of outdoor play in early childhood on physical health, mental well-being, and social and cognitive development. It also spotlights the need to change the trends so that children can have regular access to outdoor play. The extensive interventions required to reduce parents’ fears need practitioners’ training, policy changes and improved urban planning for safer environments and natural play spaces. That is a big task that will take a number of years to accomplish. Yet, there are ways that schools can intervene, to support children in attaining their key repeated experience of high quality unstructured outdoor play opportunities, which will assist their development and academic performance.
