Bright School Entrance Canopy at Weston Rhyn Primary School

A&S Landscape has worked with schools for more than 40 years, helping them to enhance their outdoor areas with shade and shelter, so we were confident that we would have a solution in our wide range of canopy products. The chosen product was a curved roof canopy form our Motiva range, the Motiva Entro. It offers steel posts and a polycarbonate roof and is long-lasting and durable with aluminium gutters which manage the rainwater. The canopy was installed at 3000mm x 2000mm with Yellow (RAL 1003) steelwork and clear polycarbonate roofing.

The end result was lovely, a smart, bright yellow entrance canopy which makes a real statement and adds to the aesthetic of Weston Rhyn Primary School. It offers that shelter and the design feature that they were looking for. The school are very happy, which is wonderful and they plan to return to A&S Landscape to install another entrance canopy over a second entrance very soon. We are pleased to have worked on this project and look forward to working with Weston Rhyn Primary School again in the very near future.

How to keep your school playground safe and why this is so crucial

Playground areas and any outdoor play equipment is a effective way to supply your pupils a healthy option to get a break from the classroom. Students getting exercise while spending time with their friends is something that schools should definitely encourage, but it’s also extremely important that the fun isn’t ruined by a child getting injured while using the playground.

Playgrounds can become unsafe for a wide variety of different reasons. Unsafe behaviour is undoubtedly something that teachers and students alike should be on the lookout for. But together with protecting children from the weather, uneven and improper surfaces can also cause falls – and unsafe or damaged outdoor equipment can speedily turn the fun sour.
