Forest Row CE Primary School, East Sussex

Forest Row Church of England Primary School is a rural village school located near Ashdown Forest in the county of East Sussex. Their vision is to provide all children with a safe and supportive environment in which they can learn, develop, and be the best they can be. 

The school contacted NBB in early 2023 to discuss their shelter requirements to extend their classrooms outside. Following a thorough site survey, and discussions on the best shelter to suit the brief, it was decided that two Bespoke Winterbourne Freestanding Shelters would be perfect for their requirements. 

The first measured L10m x D5.6m x H3.15m and included guttering to one side and kneelers to the middle posts to offer extra support whilst reducing the number of posts. The second shelter measured L14.1m x D4.3m x H3.1/2.5m and included guttering to one side, as well as 100% recycled plastic picket fencing around the perimeter completed with a gate to allow for teachers and pupils to exit and re-enter the area. Both shelters were treated with market-leading ‘Triplex’ multi-layer powder coating in Green RAL 6026 to guarantee their shelter for 25 years and compliment the scenic surroundings. 

On completion of the project, Lisa Weald, Premises Manager at Forest Row Church of England Primary School contacted NBB to let us know their installation was exactly what they hoped for, saying: “I feel compelled to write and let you know how amazing the team that came to install our canopies were. From the moment they arrived they were professionalism personified. They worked as a well-oiled machine, courteous, skilled, and efficient… I would highly recommend them to anyone.”
