Exciting projects taking place on our Trent Vale site!

We’ll be back here at Portland School in Stoke-On-Trent next week to install a new playground canopy – helping create a more usable outdoor space for pupils, whatever the weather.

This one will be a Connekt system on posts, finished in grey, designed to provide reliable shelter and a smart, durable solution for day-to-day school life.

Watch this space...
