With indoor dining areas under pressure, the school looked for a practical solution that would increase capacity while improving the overall student experience. ![Royal Sutton School - outdoor dining canopy](https://26880358.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/26880358/hubfs/Website%20Imagery/Spaceshade/Royal%20Sutton%20School%20-%20dining%20canopy%20(5).jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=Royal%20Sutton%20School%20-%20dining%20canopy%20(5).jpg)   ## Trusting Kensington System's Outdoor Canopies Having previously worked with [Kensington Systems](https://kensingtonsystems.co.uk/about-us), the trust returned for a second canopy installation, confident in the quality and reliability delivered.   Kensington Systems installed a [Spaceshade dining canopy](https://kensingtonsystems.co.uk/spaceshade/outdoor-dining-canopies) alongside the school’s catering pod, creating a dedicated covered outdoor dining area. ![Royal Sutton School - outdoor dining canopy structure](https://26880358.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/26880358/hubfs/Website%20Imagery/Spaceshade/Royal%20Sutton%20School%20-%20dining%20canopy%20(2).jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=Royal%20Sutton%20School%20-%20dining%20canopy%20(2).jpg) ## The Benefits of Outdoor Dining Canopies This immediately expanded usable space, allowing students to eat and socialise comfortably outdoors while reducing congestion inside. The [canopy](https://kensingtonsystems.co.uk/spaceshade) also helps staff manage peak times more effectively by improving the flow of students across the site.   ![Royal Sutton School - student outdoor dining canopy](https://26880358.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/26880358/hubfs/Website%20Imagery/Spaceshade/Royal%20Sutton%20School%20-%20dining%20canopy%20(6).jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=Royal%20Sutton%20School%20-%20dining%20canopy%20(6).jpg) The new space has enhanced the daily experience for students, providing a sheltered, all-weather environment where they can meet, relax, and dine. By freeing up indoor areas and extending the school’s catering facilities outdoors, Royal Sutton School has created a more flexible and manageable lunchtime setup. ![Royal Sutton School - inside a new dining canopy](https://26880358.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/26880358/hubfs/Website%20Imagery/Spaceshade/Royal%20Sutton%20School%20-%20dining%20canopy%20(4).jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=Royal%20Sutton%20School%20-%20dining%20canopy%20(4).jpg)   ### Why us?
