Rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted in 2022, Chew Valley School caters for just under 1,200 students and is located in rural Somerset, a few miles south of Bristol. Kensington Systems worked with the school last year to install a new [dining canopy](https://kensingtonsystems.co.uk/spaceshade/education) to help expand their outdoor dining provision.

This year, the school needed more. We returned to install a new entrance canopy and [playground shelter](https://kensingtonsystems.co.uk/spaceshade/education) for students to use in their break times. The installation took place during the summer holidays to minimise disruption to the running of the school.

The project included complete groundworks and resurfacing once the project was complete. This meant the school did not have to engage with any other contractors, reducing hassle and overall procurement time.
