Cabins For Schools

Oakridge Junior School in Basingstoke wanted to enhance its support for pupils who benefit from sensory environments 🤗✨

Existing areas within the main building were limited and not suited to sensory use or soft play. Having previously chosen Cabins for Schools to install their forest school hut, an outdoor classroom and an infants room, they returned to us to design, manufacture and install a modular sensory room.

We completed this custom sensory room project in collaboration with our partners, Sensory Technology. The headteacher wanted to create an immersive space with soft play where children could hide, climb, rock, spin and feel fully engaged, alongside all the essential interactive sensory equipment.

This space makes outdoor education accessible throughout the whole year, and provides a great place for interacting with the donkeys which live onsite!

The large glass frontage was important, giving students and staff views of both nature and the donkeys from inside. This is what's great about bespoke design, you can create the learning space that's ideal for your educational setting.

Just look at the backdrop of wildflowers around Acre Heads Primary's library retreat cabin! 😀 It's such an aspirational natural reading space, giving pupils somewhere to connect with both nature and the wonderful world of books 🌼📚

Outdoor learning cabin installed over the May half term 😀

Our team has just completed this 17m² Scandinavian-style log cabin for Newton Farm Nursery, Infant and Junior School in Harrow, creating a versatile additional space within the school grounds.

Cabins like this are perfect for schools looking to create dedicated environments for outdoor learning, interventions, nurture provision or smaller group activities away from the main classroom setting ✨

Newhey Community Primary School’s eco-friendly learning hut 🌿

Spaces like this give schools a flexible extra environment that can be adapted around changing pupil and curriculum needs throughout the year.

Whether used for outdoor learning, reading groups, horticulture activities, forest school sessions or smaller support-based sessions, learning huts create valuable additional space in a natural setting.

Designed to feel warm, welcoming and separate from the main building, they’re becoming an increasingly popular way for schools to expand learning opportunities beyond the traditional classroom.

New space completed for St Giles' CE Primary School in Walsall 👏

This 8m x 4m classroom has completely changed this area of the school already. The Knotwood cladding works so well in a school setting too - it gives the look of timber without the maintenance that comes with it.

More schools are looking for ways to create extra teaching and support space without major building works, and projects like this show how effective modular classrooms can be. 😀

More schools are using LEGO Therapy to support communication, social interaction, emotional regulation, and confidence, but finding the right environment for sessions can be just as important as the activity itself.

That’s why outdoor classrooms and school cabins are becoming such a popular fit.

We’ve explored why schools are combining LEGO Therapy with dedicated outdoor learning spaces, and the impact this can have for pupils and staff alike.
