Ridgeway Infant School Littleover - Derby Built: February 2, 2016 “I wanted to take this opportunity on behalf of Ridgeway, to say a huge thank you to you and your team for this project. The team working on site were amazing. They were extremely hard working, friendly and professional at all time and school life was able to continue as normal during the installation of the classroom. We would be grateful if you could pass our thanks and appreciation on to them all. The outside classroom is looking fantastic and the children are really looking forward to using it for their outside learning after the holidays.” Mrs A M Hughes – School Business Manager What were the reasons for developing your outdoor space? The school were keen to provide a new outdoor learning centre close to the main school building and improve storage facilities for outdoor play. How we transformed the play area to provide outdoor learning opportunities for the children: Our 5m Outdoor Classroom which included decking, seating access ramp and half height sides is large enough to accommodate a class of children meaning it was the perfect answer to the schools outdoor learning requirements. How the children will benefit from the new play area: The new 5m Outdoor Classroom provides a large sheltered and shaded space and can be used as a tool to improve learning outside of the classroom whilst offering the children a new place to meet and socialise.
