Hyde Park School, Plymouth

A Newcastle canopy provides an outdoor learning area and a covered play space at Hyde Park School in Plymouth.

The double-sided gullwing version of the popular Newcastle canopy was the perfect choice for this project, providing a covered space extending from existing school buildings out into the playground.

Outdoor learning space is playing an increasingly important role at the school which is creating an environment to meet the developmental needs of all students.

The Newcastle Gullwing canopy was customised by Broxap to fit the space available, following the profile of the existing building, and to meet the needs of Hyde Park School which is now part of the Learning Academies Trust.

As well as being manufactured to unique dimensions, we also offered the school a range of customisation options which are available with our canopy and shelter products.

It specified a powder coated finish to the galvanised steel framework, choosing blue to match the school colours.
