Creating Space to Thrive at Whipman Woods Primary

When Morgan Sindall were building the brand-new Whipman Woods Primary School in Worksop, they needed more than just canopies — they needed safe, durable and great-looking structures that would support outdoor learning from day one.

That’s where Twinfix came in.

A Bespoke Canopy Package with the Future in Mind

We were brought in to design, manufacture and install two canopies that would blend seamlessly with the school’s contemporary setting and meet the practical needs of staff and pupils alike.

• Canopy 1: A free-standing mono-pitch aluminium canopy with squared posts, providing a 17.1m x 4.5m sheltered space ideal for outdoor classrooms, queueing, or social zones.
• Canopy 2: A reverse mono-pitch cantilevered canopy with circular posts, offering an open, unobstructed area that keeps foot traffic moving and sightlines clear.

Both structures were glazed using our ML16NF Multi-Link-Panel system, featuring 16mm polycarbonate for durability, natural light and long-term weather resistance.

To boost on-site safety, we also supplied post protectors, colour-matched and built to withstand the everyday knocks of a busy school environment.

What Made the Difference

✔ Non-fragile roofing, safety tested to ACR(M)001:2019

✔ UV-protected polycarbonate, backed by a 10-year warranty

✔ Minimal maintenance, maximum longevity

✔ Custom-engineered frames, UKCA-marked and powder-coated for a smart, durable finish

Built for the Way Schools Really Work

At Twinfix, we know schools don’t stand still. That’s why our canopies are designed not just to look the part on handover day — but to keep performing for years to come. Whether it’s pouring with rain or blazing sunshine, Whipman Woods Primary now has two reliable outdoor zones that support teaching, learning and play, whatever the weather.
