Covered Walkway for The Kings School, Chester

The walkway has heavy footfall at all times of the day and so staff and pupils of the independent school for boys and girls aged from 4-18 were often exposed to inclement weather conditions. A long covered walkway was the perfect solution and A&S Landscape was delighted to help.

How shelters can be used to combat rising intake figures and limited budgets at schools

As we know, the school-age population has been rising. The amount of five to ten year old children in primary schools increased by 446,000 (13%) between 2010 and 2016.

The Department for Education has the mission to create the 420,000 new school places that are required between 2016 and 2021 and there are a number of ways that this can be achieved. New schools are being constructed, free schools are being funded and existing schools are collecting capital funding to uphold, enhance and grow facilities. With capital being strained, one way that schools are using this capital funding is to make the most of their outside space. Whether to build new classrooms or to add sheltered spaces which can have loads of different uses.

With more than 40 years’ experience working with schools and as experts in canopy solutions, A&S Landscape can offer a wide range of products. The chosen product was our Motiva Mono curved roof canopy in an attractive Marine Blue colour with a contrasting green roof framework and clear roof panels. The covered walkway canopy extends over 15100mm (over 40ft) and provides ample cover during busy times.

Students, teachers, parents and visitors, can now move from the car park to the school building sheltered from the best and worst of the great British weather.
