Primary Schools

Environment plays a major part in how responsive pupils are during lessons, and a well kept, vibrant and interesting surrounds can positively affect the attention span, mood and energy levels of a class. As a result, we know your school is constantly on the lookout for new and exciting ways to teach, while staying within the curriculum.
    
How often do you take your students out of their normal surroundings? By developing the school grounds and working on generating new areas in which to teach and learn together, students and staff alike are able to enjoy a school day with added variation.
    
Urban Space Products have vast experience in providing outdoor canopies and shaded play areas that are ideal methods of establishing an outdoor learning initiative in your school while maintaining best value.
    
Many new government and charities are supportive of such methods; the English Outdoor Council have done much research into the benefits of outdoor learning, and the results found that “Outdoor Learning can help to bring many school subjects alive while also providing experiential opportunities for fulfilling the National Curriculum.”
    
The charity Learning Through Landscapes is another organisation that is encouraging schools to develop their grounds, and use these assets to vary their teaching practices. Their results have been breathtaking: in a survey of schools that had made developments, 78 per cent of teachers reported a change in teaching practice, whilst two thirds observed improved attitudes to learning among their pupils.
    
Funding cuts mean that many schools are left trying to find new and innovative ways to grow, and achieve the improvements to learning outcomes that they want, while remaining within a tight budget. Urban Space Products is working with schools nationwide to develop new ways to improve teaching and learning, with a range of bespoke products that compliment your school and budget.
