Outdoor Classrooms
Built in the UK since 2005 using sustainable materials and expert craftsmanship, our outdoor classrooms are professionally installed and backed by a 12 year guarantee, giving your school confidence in their safety, durability and long term value.
Why Choose a Green Retreats Outdoor Classroom?
Choosing a Green Retreats outdoor classroom means investing in a professional teaching space designed around how schools actually operate.
We understand that safeguarding, disruption, compliance and budget are just as important as design. That is why every outdoor classroom is planned from the outset to work within a live school environment.
All installation teams working on school sites are DBS checked. We provide clear communication, structured installation schedules and minimal disruption builds so lessons can continue as normal.
Our construction method avoids the need for heavy cranes in most cases and does not rely on large scale noisy machinery. This allows your new classroom to be installed efficiently while maintaining a calm and safe school setting.
Each outdoor classroom is specified to meet educational needs, including:
- Full high performance insulation for year round use
- Double glazed windows and secure doors
- Energy efficient lighting
- Heating options
- Air conditioning option for full temperature control
- Complete electrical setup ready for teaching equipment
- Durable, low maintenance materials suitable for school use

About Us
Outdoor Classroom Case studies
Primary School Garden Room
With very little space available inside the school, it was difficult to find calm areas for children who needed extra support. The hall and library were busy and disruptive, which made meaningful sessions hard to run. Our outdoor classroom garden room has created a peaceful, inclusive learning space where children can focus in an alternative learning environment.
