Picnic Tables For Schools

Zero-maintenance, towel-dries instantly, graffiti-resistant.

Our picnic tables for schools is the perfect option for children’s wellbeing. Alongside our benches and planters we have been featured in school playgrounds up and down the land. They’re loved by school managers, teachers and bursars alike, and with good reason. Suitable for all ages – from infants to adults.

Harewood Bench 1

Our traditional A-frame picnic table – the Denholme – is our flagship model. It’ll seat four adults or six youngsters and offers classic good looks and simple functionality. In the same A-frame range is the Holmfirth Junior, best suited to kids up to eight years old. Of course, there’s an accessible version – the Bradshaw – which has one space cut out to give access for a wheelchair. The Bradshaw is truly inclusive, offering wheelchair users exactly the same position at the picnic table as their peers – no more sitting sideways and getting a stiff neck. There’s loads of room for footrests, too. Our innovative Batley picnic table has a V-frame, allowing users to walk right into their seat without the need to swing their leg over the bench. It’s a great option for anyone who has limited mobility or uses walking aids and needs a little extra space to manoeuvre.

Our Otley activity tables will keep kids of all ages occupied and are available in both standard and Junior sizes. There’s a wide range of activity table-top designs to choose from, including a simple wipeable whiteboard.

If you need something a bit bigger, our eight-seater Calder picnic table is for you. Heavy-duty, smart and practical, we can also remove two adjacent half-seats to provide wheelchair access. Also available with extended seating and backrests.

Our range of benches includes the Harewood and Ilkley which are both perfect choices for sports fields and pavilions; if you prefer a backless version, check out the Oakworth. For changing rooms and poolside, check out our Skipton, which has side-on seat slats to reduce pooling water. It’s available in a curved design, too. Our rainbow Buddy Benches offer anyone who needs a bit of company a way to reach out without having to speak out; they’ve been a popular recent addition to our range.

The recycled plastic Buddy Bench is very poplar with schools to help combat isolation and loneliness.

Planters – as well as being a useful and easy-on-the-eye way to define space – make superb “Smog Shields”. Order in custom sizes and place at your school gates to reduce roadside pollution and improve the air quality of your grounds. Easy-assembly raised bed kits and composters are the perfect choice if you’re developing your horticulture department, too. Our recycled plastic posts and planks can be used to great effect for fencing and for any number of outdoor constructions, as well as for deckingboardwalks and dipping platforms. Steel-lined litter bins are also available in both black and brown, offering the same zero-maintenance durability as the rest of our range.

Recycled Plastic for Schools

Championing sustainability in schools is pivotal for nurturing environmentally conscious leaders, and the ethos of green schools extends beyond the classroom to practical, eco-friendly implementation. Forest schools in the UK, with their unique outdoor learning experiences, exemplify this commitment, offering students a direct connection with nature while contributing to broader sustainability goals. Introducing sustainability in schools involves more than just curriculum adjustments; it includes hands-on projects and innovative eco-friendly initiatives. The Green Schools Project, for instance, serves as an invaluable resource, guiding schools in their journey towards environmental stewardship. British recycled plastic products play a crucial role in this narrative, offering sustainable alternatives for infrastructure and materials. As schools incorporate educating for sustainability into their core mission, the use of eco-friendly British recycled plastic products becomes a tangible step towards reducing the carbon footprint. The shift towards outdoor schools in the UK not only underscores the significance of nature-centric education but also opens avenues for integrating recycled plastic solutions, promoting environmentally friendly practices. By embracing recycled plastic products, schools contribute to the realization of truly eco-friendly campuses, ensuring a sustainable legacy for generations to come.

From waste…to wonderful.
