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
By 2026, all primary schools must ensure that wraparound care is accessible.
Increase your capacity for breakfast clubs, after-school programmes, 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.
