Seahaven Academy in Newhaven Cover Outdoor Area

Seahaven Academy are one of the many schools who recognise the importance of providing a covered outdoor area. A&S Landscape worked with the academy to supply and install a large straight roof canopy.

Project Specification

Product: Motiva Linear™
Steelwork:
- White
Roof:
- Opal

The chosen Motiva Linear canopy covers a large area of the campus and was installed in-between two of the school buildings. The white steelwork perfectly complements the surrounding environment and the shelter looks as though it has always been there. Thanks to the Opal polycarbonate roofing, the canopy also offers protection against harmful UV rays. The academy will be able to enjoy using this shelter for many to years to come.

Before the shelter was installed, the students of Seahaven Academy couldn’t use the outside area when the conditions were poor. Now they can enjoy fresh air no matter the weather, leaving them refreshed and ready for their next lessons. Or the shelter could be used when the students are queuing up, waiting to enter their classrooms.

Why schools should encourage lessons to be taken outdoors and what actions they can take to ensure this can help all-year-round

For school children, new environments can energise and excite, contributing to an increased competence to pick up new information. At a young age, typical classrooms can provide meagre stimulation for children and educational growth can become stunted. By exploring the use of outdoor teaching, children can find innovative and captivating ways of learning. Fresh air, and the facility to teach in a much larger space, can open up new doors to the way that lessons are taught and the tasks which can be performed.

What’s more, is that the staff can teach lessons under the canopy. This alternative learning environment helps to engage students and allows them to learn outside the four walls of a classroom. It’s true to say that this canopy is a real asset to the academy.

“Everything went to plan with A&S Landscape.”
