We were proud to be invited to supply this outdoor classroom canopy in Derby. Shelton Infants School knew they needed to update their space with an outdoor teaching resource, a shelter that would allow them to conduct their curriculum outside the four walls of the classroom.

We installed a large Motiva Cantilever canopy, at 20500mm x 3500mm in Red (RAL3020) steelwork.

The Benefits Of Outdoor Learning on Students and Teachers

Being outdoors instead of inside a building, or mundane classroom, all day builds a healthy relationship with nature and helps children to grow up with an admiration for living things. Teaching 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.
