At Cabins for Schools, we offer a range of bespoke outdoor classrooms and log cabins designed to be multifunctional, customised to the specific needs of your school. Our cabins provide flexible, versatile spaces that can serve a variety of purposes.
Here are some of the most popular ways schools are using our outdoor classrooms and log cabins:
Create Space For ELSA Sessions
Upgrade Provisions for SEND Support
For students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) or Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH), a traditional classroom environment can feel overwhelming. Cabins offer a quiet, alternative learning environment where these students can feel more comfortable.
Billesley Primary School uses their outdoor classroom as a dedicated space for Lego therapy and other interventions, providing a peaceful area for students to engage in specialised support.
Provide a Designated Reading Nook or School Library
Introduce or Develop Forest School & Bushcraft Facilities
Outdoor education is becoming increasingly popular, with schools adding Forest School and bushcraft lessons to their curriculum. A cabin can provide the perfect base for outdoor learning, offering shelter so these activities can continue year-round.
Springfield SEND School created an accessible forest school cabin to ensure all students, including wheelchair users, could fully participate in outdoor learning, regardless of the weather.
Provide a Designated Music Room
Breakfast Club / After School Clubs & Wraparound Care
Increase your capacity for breakfast clubs, after-school programs, or wraparound care with a dedicated cabin space. These flexible buildings offer a safe, welcoming environment for students outside of regular school hours, helping support working parents while offering children an enjoyable place to spend their time.
Breakout Rooms / Intervention Space
Cabins offer the perfect breakout room for students who need a quiet space to step away from the demands of the classroom.
George Spencer Academy created a wellness cabin that serves as an intervention space where students can regulate their emotions in a comfortable, supportive setting. These spaces are also ideal for small group sessions, promoting better student engagement and peer interaction.
Create Additional Offices & Staff Rooms
As your school grows, so do the needs of your staff. Whether you're accommodating more teachers or need additional office space for administrative tasks, meetings, or staff breaks, our cabins offer bright, airy solutions.
The Priory Primary School utilised a modular office building for their expanding team, creating a functional and comfortable workspace that supports staff productivity.

'Anne-Marie was fantastic at showing us all the available styles of cabins which could suit our school and the needs of our pupils. We had secured a Local Government grant to enable us to create more room for outdoor learning and the whole experience with Cabins for Schools has been problem free, which is rare in this day & age. The communication levels have been great from signing our forms, through to installation. The children adore their new cabin which we have called The Hut. We often have reading time in there and it's lovely that all the children can sit around the edge of the cabin on the built-in benches.'

'Cabins for schools were brilliant to deal with. Right from our first enquiry through to the finish build they were helpful, pleasant and very informative. All the staff were very professional and flexible with school needs. They also helped us to get the best value cabin for the budget we had available. The process of buying a cabin from them was very smooth. We now have a wonderful cabin on our playground which we have called The Hive which is used daily by our SEN staff and children.'

'The space that has been provided is invaluable to us as we now have an eco garden surrounding the area so its created greater student interest in the great outdoors, bug hunting, den building, gardening, nature etc. The hut creates a calm dry place for interventions, small class groups and staff who run the eco garden use it for planning of the garden too.
The install team were brilliant - extremely polite and left the site tidy. Thank you so much!'

'We are absolutely thrilled with the two reading pods you recently installed in our playground at St Marys C of E Primary School, Byfleet. We wanted to express our sincere thanks for the outstanding service and quality throughout the entire process. From the initial planning stages, your communication was exceptional. We particularly appreciated your patience and guidance as we determined the optimal size for our space, and your flexibility in accommodating our request for a second pod when we secured additional funding was fantastic. The installation team was incredibly professional and efficient. They arrived on time as scheduled, worked seamlessly around our school day timings, and completed the setup quickly with minimal disruption. The finished cabins both inside and out look fantastic and have already become a much-loved addition to our school. The cabins are proving to be incredibly popular with our pupils during break and lunchtimes. They offer a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the playground, providing a quiet and calming space where children can choose to read, chat with friends, draw, or simply relax. It's wonderful to see them being used in such a variety of ways and we've already noticed a positive impact on the overall playground atmosphere. Thank you again for providing such a positive experience. We would highly recommend Cabins For Schools to any educational institution looking for high-quality outdoor learning spaces.'

'From the initial stages, Cabins for Schools worked closely with us to deliver our vision, ensuring the project remained within budget without compromising on quality. The team’s dedication meant that the cabin was not only completed on time but was ready to use immediately—a seamless experience from start to finish. The cabin itself has exceeded all expectations. Its quality has stood the test of time through extreme weather conditions, from scorching summers to freezing, wet winters, and it still looks as pristine as it did on the day of installation. The structure has truly proven to be a durable, long-lasting investment. Our woodland cabin has transformed our outdoor area into an incredible extension of the classroom, offering a versatile and inspiring learning environment. It has been the hub of a wide array of activities and events, such as Yoga Classes, Forest Schools, Wellbeing Writing Sessions, Santa’s Grotto at Christmas, and School Community Days, to name just a few. Its charm and functionality have enriched our pupils' learning experiences in countless ways. The "wow" factor of the cabin is undeniable, impressing visitors and sparking joy in everyone who steps inside. We have even had the privilege of sharing this remarkable facility with other schools in our city, particularly those with fewer resources for outdoor education. It has been heartwarming to see the positive impact it has had not only on our own pupils but also on the wider community. We feel incredibly fortunate for the opportunities this cabin has brought our children, enabling them to enjoy the great outdoors every day, regardless of the weather. The cabin is more than just a building—it is an inspiring space that fosters creativity, wellbeing, and connection. Thank you once again for bringing this vision to life. We are proud to showcase our cabin as a testament to the exceptional quality and service provided by Cabins for Schools.'
