With global warming on the rise and the UK getting some of its hottest weather on record, sun-protection is now more important than ever. Especially to protect little ones who are potentially at more risk of sunburn and skin damage.
Our sun shades and awnings are a great way to provide protection from all weather in a school or nursery setting. Not only can it provide shade for the children, it can also increase protection for teachers, supervisors and parents.
In a 2008 report, OFSTED described the limited amount of outdoor space in schools as a major concern and “a lack of suitable canopies unnecessarily limited the use of these areas.” Investing in an awning for your school or nursery provides a new multi-use space which can be used to hold lessons outside the classroom; a vital learning experience.
Reducing solar heat gain for the Year 3 classroom to regulate internal temperatures and create a more comfortable learning environment.
Expanding the usability of the outdoor space with a polycarbonate veranda installation, providing a sheltered area for learning and playing.
The awning provides a shaded outdoor area where pupils and teachers can access the fresh air for more complete and relaxed learning and development.

READ MOREKeeping little ones entertained inside can be stressful and, with the ever-changing British weather, outside is not always an option. By installing a Roché quality commercial awning for your school or nursery, you’ll be able to let them play both indoors and outdoors without the worry of rain. Outdoor play is also an important part of their learning development.
By blocking direct sunlight, awnings help reduce heat gain within classrooms, keeping indoor spaces cooler and more comfortable, especially during warmer months. This not only enhances student concentration and well-being, but also reduces reliance on air conditioning, supporting energy efficiency and lower running costs.
