SEN Outdoor Classrooms are both a functional and educational building all rolled into one. The SEN Outdoor Classroom offers shade and shelter at playtime but it can also be used as an outdoor teaching and learning zone, eco classroom and multi-sensory area. We can include such options as tactile wall panels, coloured window panels, sensory cubes, sensory light panels, music and sounds, textured flooring systems, in-built planters and renewable energy systems including pedal power dynamo bikes (which can power up multi-coloured lights, a music system and a bubble making machine) and solar panels and a wind turbine.
The majority of these structures are bespoke built to a customer’s individual brief, specification and budget so we do encourage schools to give us a call to discuss their requirements.

“I just wanted to say a massive thank you. We love the sensory outdoor classroom, it has already been used loads and will continue to develop as we find more sensory items to add to it”
