Pocca canopy provides excellent outdoor facilities at Kader primary school
Published:  21 October, 2009

Kader Primary School is located in a residential suburb of Middlesbrough and has more than 380 pupils.

Although there is a large playing field attached to the school, its use for curriculum activities often has to be restricted, thanks to the British weather. When the school decided to extend their building, a key requirement was to provide an inside/outside teaching and play area that would not be restricted by poor weather. Extensive discussions were held with the architect and much research was undertaken by the school before a decision was made to employ "Inside2Outside" to provide a Pocca canopy as part of the works.

Inside2Outside quickly arranged for one of their representatives to visit the school to discuss costs and requirements. It was quickly evident that the company had extensive experience of providing canopies to schools and an appropriate design was chosen which met the school's needs. Inside2Outside provided details of the canopy and arrangements were then put in place for it to be installed once the building work had been completed. From the school's perspective, the installation went very smoothlyand the resulting canopy has provided excellent outdoor facilities which are used every day by the Early Year Foundation pupils.

Headteacher Lynne Chalk said: "I was very impressed by the service that Inside2Outside provided. Even when we had to contact the company about some minor damage, several weeks after the canopy had been installed, they were only too happy to visit the school to see what could be done. A repair was undertaken without disrupting the school's day to day activities. I therefore would have no hesitation in letting others visit the school to see the installation and would the company to other schools."
