A school as exciting as this is always buzzing with energy and no decision is made lightly. Every new addition is a chance to improve and build on what is already present with the question ‘how can we do this better’.

The answer to that question, when looking for a new outdoor dining shelter was to call in A&S Landscape to install a playful and imaginative Maxima Shade Sail. Installed at 6000mm x 6000mm with smart blue steelwork (RAL5010), cherry red fabric and 120mm high post pads, this Maxima Shade Sail is as functional as it is easy on the eye.

Is alfresco dining a privilege or essential to students?

There are a variety of proven benefits to eating outside as a part of the school day. As school children spend the majority of the day in a classroom environment, it is crucial that they are given time to breathe at lunchtime. In spending this break outside, it not only provides a peaceful environment but can also curb levels of hyperactivity in a child. If a student is directed to spend their break inside, it can emulate the classroom environment and prevent them from taking a sufficient amount of time to relax. Outdoor dining is also a very sociable activity, free by the dining hall setting young people can talk with different year groups easily.

Over on our blog you can find out how schools can allow their students to eat outside regularly – click here.

This is the second project that A&S Landscape have completed for Old Oak Primary School and this Maxima Shade Sail has delighted the school who gave us five star feedback.

“Faultless from start to finish, I have already recommended A&S Landscape to two other schools nearby. No problems at all!”
