Whether you are looking to provide shade from the hot weather, shelter from the elements or perhaps even a parent waiting area then we are able to offer a unique and creative solution for your school outdoor shelters and shade needs.

Our attractive outdoor shelters come in a comprehensive range of different sizes (octagonal, rectangular and square) with a suite of options but we are also able to manufacture something bespoke if this suits your particular requirements. These type of shelters are becoming ever popular in schools who have a Forest Schools setting or environment as they are very much an extension to the outdoor classroom. It is possible therefore to add on some of our interesting eco options such as the educational wind turbine and solar panel package with energy monitoring board & power supply.

Mobile Classrooms

If you are wanting to have a mobile classroom building, then we have the solution. We wanted to make sure that not only was the building manufactured to a high quality standard but that is also looked attractive and was something you could be proud of.

The buildings are all pre-manufactured at our partner's factory in the north of England including all internal partitioning, sanitary ware, kitchen equipment, electrics, heating and lighting. Each unit is then delivered to site, fully assembled, on the back of a low loader truck and positioned onto existing baseworks. These buildings can be up to 40ft in length and 20ft in width.

We are able to offer standard classroom packages which are already fully Building Regulation compliant or we can manufacture to your own individual specification and internal layouts.

PAGE 20 www.hideouthouse.com

A Building and Educational Resource Combined Into One!

Our Green Rooms are environment-friendly buildings which can be used for a whole host of applications. Every facet of their design and manufacture has been with sustainability in mind but where the Green Room is different in this respect is that its secondary purpose is just as important as its primary one in that children can actually learn from the building so it therefore becomes both a functional and didactic product combined into one. Children can see how the sedum on the roof changes colour and texture and how it attracts wildlife, they can plant and grow their own food, they can harvest rainwater, they can monitor the energy created by the wind turbine or solar panel and they can see how good insulation is more energy efficient.

Features

• Extensive range of eco options

• Children can actually be part of the sustainability knowledge process

• Manufactured from eco friendly materials and fully insulated

• Different sizes available

• Internal partitioning to form kitchen, toilet and storage areas also available

• Delivery, installation, planning, ground works and funding advice services available

• Can be used for a wide range of applications including outdoor classroom, staff room, library and resources centre, music/dance room, extended services facility and nursery building

Playscaping

Working alongside one of our partners, we are able to create bespoke play environments for schools and nurseries. Using natural materials and creative thinking we offer the best possible playground solution tailored to your site, children and budget parameters. Have a look at some of the pictures below of past installs.

The Dipping Pond

Ponds are a fascinating habitat (in the UK two thirds of freshwater animals and plants live within our ponds) and they provide a very practical way to learn the principles of ecology and the relationship between man and his environment.

They are also a major asset to teaching the primary curriculum concepts within life processes and living things.

If you have not already got a pond in your grounds, don't worry as we will make you one!

Features

• Two level dipping pond platform with opening and closing gate to allow for easy and safe access to the water

• Platform made entirely from 100% HDPE recycled plastic so not only is it kind to the environment but it will not rot and is therefore ideal for dipping ponds

• As it is made from recycled plastic it requires very little ongoing maintenance

• Comes complete with chalkboard (600mm x 900mm framed), 3 x pond dipping kits (each kit comprises of a medium sized net, 3 x 60ml sampling pots, bug box magnifying pot, small white sampling tray, plastic pipette and waterproof freshwater name trail identification chart) and a fence mounted storage unit

Treehouses

Our treehouses for schools are really gaining in popularity but remember you don't necessarily need a tree to have one! The Hideout House is a new and unique “treehouse” concept where the building is raised up on stilts to give the impression that you are living amongst the trees way up in the sky. Attractively designed, our treehouses can let school and children's imaginations run wild and offer an exciting alternative to outdoor classrooms and learning.

There is a range of external claddings to choose from and all internal designs, including fittings and fixtures, are bespokely supplied in consultation with you the client so that you get what you want rather than what is sold to you.

For school environments, the Hideout House treehouse can also be adapted to include for play items such as lower level dens, tube slides, rock walls, rotating tyre swings and fireman’s poles.

FirePitShelter

This unique fire pit shelter and outdoor classroom combines two functions - firstly it can act both as a shelter for your forest school or outdoor learning area plus you can use it as an outdoor classroom and teaching facility.

But it has a fire-pit built in the middle which the children can either conduct their outdoor cooking on or use it as a means to warm up by! The fire pit shelter, with its in-built benches, will provide natural protection from the wind and will create a cozy, enclosed area for a relaxed time around the fire area. A Forest School practitioner will need to carry out the daily site risk assessments and provide for adequate safety.

If a fire pit is going to be sited in the middle of the shelter, then we allow for a hole or vent to be cut into the apex of the roof to allow for the smoke to adequately exhaust. And we also allow for the application of a fire retardant intumescent varnish to be applied to the underside of the roof.

Benefits& Features

• Manufactured out of quality cedar wood which requires very little or no maintenance

• Hole in the roof to allow for the smoke to naturally ventilate and exhaust - this hole can also be covered with our two tier capping roof system which stops rainwater coming through but still allows for adequate smoke ventilation

• Roof made from attractive cedar shingle tiles

• Available in three sizes - namely 3m, 4m and 5m

• Blends into any natural wood or forest setting

• Cedar-made high back benching to as many sides as you like dependent upon class sizes

• A coat of intumescent varnish is applied to the underside of the roof and the leg support posts

PAGE 28 www.hideouthouse.com

AmphitheatresandSeating

Available in a different range of styles and sizes our amphitheatres and staging products add a different and creative dimension to your playground in instances when you are wanting to seat a large group of children to either meet or perform.

Please give us a call to discuss your individual requirements as the majority of products are bespokely manufactured to suit your individual circumstances, budget and site.

Funding & Grants

Does Your Head Spin When It Comes To Sourcing Grant Funding?

This is the page where usually everyone lists a plethora of websites but offers a paucity of assistance. A sea of weblink connections literally swims in front of your eyes and it must be a daunting task just to shift through this lot. We should know because we did it ourselves as a point of exercise. So we have researched and compiled our own list of grant providers and from the information we gleaned on their websites, they are still relevant and active*. The good news is that there are quite a few grants which are specifically related to promoting sustainability and safeguarding the environment.

E-mail info@hideouthouse.com for a copy of our funding guide and we will send it to you straight away.

However in our view the single most important factor for a successful school application is to aptly demonstrate imagination and innovation. You really do need to stand out from the crowd. Be different. Devise high quality project ideas which will attract attention.

What About My Time Commitment?

Know how you feel! No-one said this was going to be easy so you will have to commit some time to this but where there is a will, there is a way. Or we can help out as we have partnered up with funding advice companies who can both offer advice and point you very much in the right direction. Contact us for further details on this scheme.

PAGE 30 www.hideouthouse.com

The Funding Mix

But we believe that seeking grant funding should maybe just be part of your overall funding strategy. Here are some of our ideas to wet your appetite:

• Take a leaf out of Richard Branson’s book and be entrepreneurial. Make money through your site and school – such as hiring out rooms and making the most of extended services.

• Generate income from recycling schemes. Some of our products are designed to help you do just this – the Revenue Recycling Bin where you can collect disused mobile phones, CDs and DVDs etc from parents and then get the children to sell them onto companies who pay good money for these items. Also our School Shop which the school can use to sell goods to parents and the local community.

• Our loyalty programme offers discounts for repeat purchases and if you recommend us and this referral turns into an order, we can offer you credit notes against future purchases. You scratch our back, we’ll scratch yours!

• Look at renewable energy and income generation. Through its revolutionary glazing technology, our Solar PV Greenhouse for example allows you to generate an income via the Feed-in-Tariffs. So whilst you watch the tomatoes grow, you are earning money at the same time.

• Work creatively with your PTA for new and innovative fundraising ideas. We are currently researching an idea where share a commission with you for us placing bookings on behalf of parents of the school for selected holidays in the UK. So to raise money for the school, you simply go on holiday or enjoy a week-end break!

• Local Authority Support – talk to the environment and planning divisions within your LEA. As part of their programmes, they may even offer grants for renewable energy schemes including wind and solar power. Or at least offer you advice on your eligibility for grants. The E.ON Sustainability Energy Fund, which used to be open to direct school applications, is now operated through LAs.

• Involve the local community as a lot of grants available are community based. What about starting a local community gardening club and use our greenhouses. An eco club and use our Green Rooms or eco centres.

• Talk to your local supermarkets as a lot of them have school support schemes e.g. Morrisons Let’s Grow programme. As well as asking for grant funds, why not get these companies to sponsor some of our products? We can work with you on this. For example, we could put their logo on the canvas roof of our eco centres.

* At the time of writing www.hidehouthouse.com

We are all aware of our ever increasing need to ensure that everything we do is sustainable and kind to the environment. Schools must adapt techniques and environmental policies in order to help lead the transition to a low carbon economy and by implementing more meaningful learning from outside classroom experiences, this will lead to the development of more positive and inclusive attitudes to learning.

As a business therefore, we have implemented the following initiatives:

• Our products are very much designed with the emphasis on teaching children about the environment and feature extensively eco features such as sedum roofs, wind turbines, solar panels, water butts and planters

• The timber we use is FSC accredited which ensures that it is harvested only from sustainable sources

• Timber is the most sustainable building material available, benefiting from low embedded energy. This means using materials that are closest to their natural state. Timber can also be re-used or reduced to wood chip for other building products

• Our HDPE panels are fully recyclable

• Our buildings are fully insulated throughout thereby enhancing thermal efficiencies and reducing energy waste

• Clean energy created by air and ground source heat pumps

• Our Soft bond product is made from 100% recyclable rubber

• All timber off cuts and production waste is recycled

• Where applicable we use low energy lighting and ozone friendly materials

Did You Know?

Schools currently represent approximately 15% of public sector greenhouse gas emissions and 2% of the UK total with five million tonnes of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere each year. Another five million tonnes is attributed to the school run and the manufacture of school equipment and consumables.
