Outdoor Classrooms
Sportsafe’s Outdoor Classrooms are built from sustainably sourced quality materials.
About this installation
All of our timbers are pressure treated with a chrome-free and arsenic-free preservative which protects against decay and insect attack for 20 years.
We offer a variety of different sizes of outdoor classrooms – both full shelters and half shelters, as well as those with floors and those without floors. We’d be happy to talk to you in more detail about finding the right option for your educational environment.
What are the benefits of outdoor classrooms?
As with all of our outdoor learning and play equipment, there are many benefits to outdoor classrooms:
- Outdoor learning improves physical health, encourages respect for nature, and nurtures children’s imagination.
- Children can enjoy outdoor learning daily, no matter what the weather, as an outdoor classroom offers shelter from the sun and rain.
- An outdoor classroom provides a space for relaxation and mindfulness promoting health and well-being as the children are outside in the fresh air.
- Applications for an outdoor classroom are multi-faceted – reading, drama theatres, general teaching, a waiting shelter for parents, a community facility, a nurture room and an eating area.

Having already worked with All Saints Primary School on two previous projects – one nursery makeover and one KS2 Trim Trail and surfacing project – we were delighted to be chosen to work with them again on this new project.

I wanted to relay how happy myself and the school is with our inspection from Wayne. He has been doing our inspections for some time now. His level of experience and his advice over the years is commendable. He really takes pride in his job and treats my school like his own. A massive credit to Sportsafe and a really nice guy to have around the school.

Please can you express my gratitude to Wayne. He is like a walking encyclopaedia when it comes to health and safety and I really appreciate all of this advice in order to keep our school safe for the children.

Everything we had talked about was delivered, from the equipment being high quality to the installation teams being on time, courteous and professional. And most of all - that the kids would love it. We have had to timetable usage as it has proved so popular! We will definitely be coming back to Sportsafe when we want to increase our equipment because they had such great advice and value for money.

Poppy has been my account manager for the past few months, and her customer service is exceptional. Her communication and proactiveness are greatly appreciated.

Sportsafe brings along a full set of supplies to action small repairs there and then and provides quotes for any larger items in need of attention. Our visiting Engineer, also took the time to liaise with our maintenance staff and provide feedback and tips on how best to maintain our equipment in the future. I would recommend Sportsafe to any International School who would like to ensure their sporting equipment and facilities, both indoor and outdoor, are safe and fit for purpose.

The experience and knowledge of Sportsafe was a major reason for our picking them as a partner on this project. That same experience and knowledge was reflected all the way through the contract and we were very happy with both the result and the working practices. As can be seen, the transformation is fantastic.
