Dunraven Academy in London add Fabric Shade Sails

A&S Landscape installed two Maxima StarSails at the school, each measuring 6m x 6m. The sails were both finished in Slate Grey steelwork, which contrasts well with the Orange and Raspberry fabric roofs. Made with a waterproof PVC material, the sails can be used to shelter from the rain as well as the sun.

Already the students of Dunraven Academy in London, love the new sails and they are a very popular place during break times. Now the students can spend more time outside in the fresh air, which will help them unwind and refresh before their next lesson. This could also be a great spot to sit during exam periods when quite areas are in high demand. We’ve also worked with Enfield County Lower School in London, installing a straight roof shelter.

What Are The Benefits Of Outdoor Learning and How Can School Canopies Assist with This

There are a wealth of benefits of learning outdoors which help children as well as staff. A consideration that is generally discounted is the teacher’s satisfaction of teaching lessons and how the choice to teach outside can be just as inspiring for them as it is for students. Being in an outdoor surrounding is healthy and breeds positivity for teachers which is regularly echoed in their lessons and the way they teach. If a teacher is uninspired, that loss of keenness can carry over into their lessons but putting them in contact with nature can thoroughly adjust the way they see teaching.

A teacher is a effective teacher and one that is enthusiastic about educating children. Introducing a shelter into a school gives both teachers and students a chance to explore this at the same time and brings with it a positive sense of freedom. Increasing engagement in school is something every teacher is looking to do and with an outdoor canopy from A&S Landscape, it’s made much easier. The more engrossed students are with their learning, the more their skills advance and the more assured they become in their abilities.

The newly created covered areas can be used at lunchtimes too if the students want to enjoy their food out in the fresh air. The teachers of Dunraven Academy could also take their classes outside without having to worry about the weather. This alternative learning environment will create an engaging and memorable lesson.
