The Chase High School gave us 10 out of 10 for the Motiva Linear Monopitch (asymmetric) straight roof canopy we installed at this secondary school in Malvern, Worcestershire.
“There’s nothing they could improve on,” was the response from the Senior Site Manager at The Chase High School. The smart Slate Grey steelwork was complemented with a clear roof which allows the maximum sunlight to flood the canopy whilst protecting the pupils from harmful UV rays as they walk between buildings. The school asked us to work around their busy break times.
The canopy was specified with Alu-Tuff™ guttering and downpipes in matching Dura-coat™ finish. A&S Landscape has also worked with other schools in Worcestershire, including Great Witley C of E School.
“We would like to thank the team that installed the canopy, they have done a great job. The school is really happy, there was minimal disruption while the school was in full use.”

What Are The Benefits Of Outdoor Learning and How Can School Canopies Assist with This
There are a variety of benefits of learning outdoors which help school children as well as teaching staff. A point that is generally unrecognised is the teacher’s enjoyment of teaching lessons and how the freedom to teach outside can be just as stimulating for them as it is for class. Being in an outdoor setting is healthy and leads to positivity for teachers which is often reflected in their lessons and the way they teach. If a teacher is uninspired, that loss of passion can carry over into their lessons but putting them in contact with nature can entirely transform the way they envision teaching.
A teacher is a excellent teacher and one that is spirited about educating children. Introducing a canopy into a school gives both teachers and children a chance to explore this together 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 shelter from A&S Landscape, it’s made much easier. The more engaged students are with their learning, the more their skills improve and the more assured they become in their abilities.
Being outdoors instead of inside a building, or mundane classroom, all day contributes to a healthy relationship with nature and helps children to grow up with an awareness for living things. Educating 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.
