Outdoor Seating Areas for Schools
Whether your students use them for chatting, reading, or learning, outdoor seating areas are an invaluable part of any playground. Are you looking for a central gathering place for outdoor lessons to sit and learn? Or do you need school benches to make use of a neglected corner of your play area. Whatever your seating requirements, we are here for you!
Outdoor Classroom Seating
Our bespoke outdoor classroom construction includes optional seating. With benches built directly into the side of our gazebo or reading hut, children will always have somewhere to sit.
Unlike a typical classroom where desks are positioned in rows or groups, an outdoor classroom with this style of seating arrangement gives everyone the best view of the focus of the lesson. Whether a teacher is working on the inbuilt whiteboard at one side of the gazebo, or addressing a class from the middle, all students can see from wherever they are sitting.
Portable Seating Cubes
The best option for playgrounds with limited space are our portable seating cubes. These small cubes are topped with soft grass carpet for extra comfort for longer storytimes or independent reading for young learners.
Equipped with two handy carrying handles, anybody can easily position these cubes in any configuration they need. This makes them a brilliant versatile tool to organize circle time, small group breakout sessions, or draw attention towards the teacher at the front of the group.
Storytelling Chair
Set the scene for learning and listening with a storytelling chair that provides a unique fairytale atmosphere. Engage children in the story teachers are reading aloud by creating a cosy, inviting area designed specifically for learning. Additionally, students can take turns to the throne-like chair to boost their confidence during public speaking, assuming leadership of learning or reading activities.
In our storytelling bundle, schools can pair this with 4 seating cubes. This helps complete the perfect reading area for nurseries, EYFS or Key Stage 1 learning.
Bespoke Engravings
Make your outdoor seating areas truly unique with bespoke engravings for your outdoor benches and school furniture. We can carve patterns, mottos, and dedications into our wooden seating options that reflect the values of your school and promote mindfulness and reflection.
Picnic Benches
Students can enjoy the sun in a lovely picnic space designed for younger children to gather with their peers. These small benches and tables come as one unit to keep outdoor lunches and snack-breaks organised and help improve socialisation outside of the classroom setting.
