“I don’t how we managed without it …” says Cherry Orchard Headteacher Jan Beames, talking about her school’s new all-weather playground shelter. “It’s made a big improvement to our facilities and it sends an important message to our pupils’ parents and carers that this school really cares about our community here in South East London. BSB did all the work during termtime, while the school was open. They were very good - there was absolutely no disruption."
The idea to invest in the shelter came from a school governor, keen to improve the facilities for those collecting children after school. No longer will parents have to stand in the rain, the new shelter and comfortable seating means parents and children are now dry and safe. And thanks to its UV resistant canopy, the shelter also protects the children from the sun’s harmful rays during playtime.
The shelter is part of Mrs Beames programme of expansion and modernisation for the school. “I’m very happy indeed. It’s a lovely design and blends in perfectly with the architecture of the school.”
