Outdoor Classroom Canopy at Shelton Infants School Derby

We were proud to be invited to supply this outdoor classroom canopy in Derby. Shelton Infants School knew they needed to update their space with an outdoor teaching resource, a shelter that would allow them to conduct their curriculum outside the four walls of the classroom.

We installed a large Motiva Cantilever canopy, at 20500mm x 3500mm in Red (RAL3020) steelwork.

The Benefits Of Outdoor Learning on Students and Teachers

Being outdoors instead of inside a building, or mundane classroom, all day builds a healthy relationship with nature and helps children to grow up with an admiration for living things. Teaching children about nature is not necessarily something that is included as part of a curriculum, but it is part of life and an important part of their development as a human being.
