Project

Bespoke Perspex Outdoor Shelter

Overview

Year 4 pupils at King’s Oak Primary Learning Centre originally designed an outdoor shelter as part of an enterprise project, winning a competition against 50 other schools. When the promised prize fell through, we teamed up with the school’s PTA to ensure the children’s hard work wasn’t in vain. It was a privilege to help turn their award-winning vision into a beautiful, permanent reality for the whole school to enjoy.
