Sydney Russell School in Dagenham Enjoy New Umbrella Shade

When you are looking for a school canopy that will offer shade in the summer and shelter in the winter, you have to get the right product. Sydney Russell School in Dagenham, Essex, came to A&S Landscape who have more than 40 years’ experience in helping schools add canopies. We knew that we would have just the right product.

Project Specification

Product: Maxima Umbrella™
Size: 6000mm x 6000mm
Steelwork:
- White
Fabric:
- Porcelain Green

Our Maxima range has an Umbrella canopy which can be installed with either shade cloth or waterproof fabric. The waterproof fabric was chosen and installed in a smart Porcelain Green colour.

You can review all our fabric and steel colours here for some inspiration.

The result is a smart new addition to the playground. We are pleased to have been able to add to an already “Outstanding” school. Sydney Russell school was judged ‘‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in 2013 and it is one of the top three schools in the Local Authority on all key exam measures. The school has just completed a £26 million rebuilding programme and has excellent state of the art facilities.”

“Great, during the summer it was a good shade and in the winter it will be a good rain cover.”

The benefits of playing outside on young children and why we need to encourage more children to do so

Multiple studies show that children’s outdoor play is critical for their healthy development and academic performance. This matter emphasises the benefits of outdoor play in early childhood on physical health, mental well-being, and social and cognitive development. It also spotlights the need to change the trends so that children can have daily access to outdoor play. The long-term interventions needed to reduce parents’ concerns require practitioners’ training, policy changes and improved urban planning for safer environments and natural play spaces.

Carry on reading to explore why outdoor play is so vital for child development, why it is declining and how schools can respond.
