Wyvern Pupils Enjoy the Outdoors Whatever the Weather
Pupils at The Wyvern School in Ashford, Kent are now enjoying spending time outside all year round thanks to the 153 sqm of canopies they had installed in April by Able Canopies Ltd.
The Wvyern School is a special school for children with profound, severe and complex needs from the age of 3 through to 19. To provide their pupils with the best possible outdoor setting, they contacted Able Canopies with the hope to install two canopies within their school grounds; one along the length of a south facing building and another to cover an outside seating area for their sixth form students.
The canopies that reach a combined length of 38 metres was installed in five days over the Easter holidays in April. It seems the canopies were installed just in time and have come in particularly handy with the April showers that the South-East experienced during a very rainy May, last month. “That’s one of the many fantastic benefits of our canopies; you can plan lessons and events outside without worrying about the weather. If a sudden downpour occurs, your plans can continue without a fuss.” – Tracy Meakins, Able Canopies Managing Director.
The wall mounted canopy along their south facing building measures 36 metres in length and not only provides shade and shelter outdoors, it also creates shade to the buildings’ windows, keeping the rooms inside much cooler on those hot, summer days.
The free standing canopy was installed for their sixth form students and features outdoor seating so they can study, socialise and dine outside whatever the weather. This is perfect for giving their older students a little more freedom and independence as they prepare for life beyond The Wyvern School.
Upon completion of the installation, School Business Manager Tina Button was delighted with the canopies stating that they were “Fantastic structures designed and completed by a friendly team. Would recommend!”
