Ebbw Fawr Learning Community adds Sheltered Area

With such a lovely modern campus, Ebbw Fawr Learning Community has a keen eye for design and detail. As the first 3-16 maintained school in Wales with a £57M state of the art setting, making sure that the canopies they chose were in keeping and of the highest quality was very important.

Project Specification

  • Product: Maxima Umbrella™
  • Size: 7000mm X 7000mm
  • Steelwork:
    • Slate Grey - RAL NO. 7015

  • Fabric:
    • Boulder

The area to be covered was a large courtyard which was lacking shade and shelter and crying out for a smart design feature to complete it.

Ebbw Fawr chose the Maxima Umbrella from our range of products, with waterproof fabric. The steelwork was in slate grey and the fabric in boulder colour. The new installations added shelter from both the rain and UV rays, meaning they were used all year round by students.

How can learning outside help children with their academic performance and how can schools facilitate this?

For school children, different environments can motivate and excite, triggering an increased capability to understand new information. At a young age, standard classrooms can provide meagre stimulation for students and educational growth can become limited. By exploring the use of outdoor teaching, children can find inventive and enthralling ways of learning. Fresh air, and the means to teach in a considerably larger space, can open up new doors to the means that lessons are taught and the tasks which can be performed.
