About Education

Usable outdoor space for nursery, primary and secondary education is one of your school’s most valuable assets. Our canopies and sunshades provide year-round shelter and shade. Let children, teachers and parents enjoy quality time at school together. Make more of your space outdoors…

More and more, local authorities and head teachers are recognising they have a duty to protect young children effectively from the damaging effects of UV sun. Keep it Kool Shade Sail fabrics block harmful UVA and UVB rays whilst reducing ambient temperature by up to one third.

We create architecturally interesting, cost-effective designs for any outdoor space. Our professional team will co-ordinate everything, ensuring swift installation with minimum disruption, either in or outside term time.

Protected outdoor environments for schools

Changes to the school curriculum have increased the pressure to provide outdoor activities and learning experiences for children. Usable outdoor space is often at a premium and needs to be robust, flexible and safe to cope with our ever-changing weather.

Most of the new cases of skin cancer each year are caused by childhood exposure to UV and every School and Children's Centre has a duty of care to offer adequate protection.

Only high quality UV shading allows children freedom of movement in an outdoor environment. Ordinary shades, awnings and blinds may cut down visible light but most don't even have a UV rating. To find out more about UV and skin cancer visit Skcin or Cancer Research UK.
