During the secondary school years, students enter a crucial stage of their academic journey that requires a well-rounded learning environment. This not only involves tackling more complex subjects but also ensuring a safe and supportive physical setting to foster effective learning beyond traditional academic topics.
Promoting environmental responsibility
Education goes beyond textbooks. Developing a sense of environmental responsibility is now more important than ever in schools.
By incorporating a dedicated recycling programme into the school routine, students gain a lasting understanding of their responsibility to protect the environment.
Glasdon offers an array of visually appealing and practical school recycling bins that are essential in supporting the programme.
Our external and internal options come in various sizes – single-, dual-, or multi-stream – specifically intended to promote the separation of waste materials commonly found in educational settings such as paper, plastic, and food.
Creating comfortable outdoor spaces
Having designated seating areas in playgrounds allows students to take short breaks between classes, fostering important social interactions and relaxation. In turn, this encourages collaborative learning and communication among students.
Whether it’s a casual discussion during lunch or a group project outdoors, comfortable and well-designed seating contributes to the holistic development of students.
Glasdon provides a range of hard-wearing, low-maintenance external benches and commercial outdoor seating designed to withstand the test of time.
With choices ranging from traditional benches to picnic tables, there is something for students of every age and suitable for different school settings.
Prioritising safety during winter months
During the winter months, schools must prioritise investing in reliable safety equipment to prevent accidents. Taking proactive measures for winter safety not only protects the health of students and staff but also demonstrates an institution’s commitment to their community’s well-being.
Minimise the chances of accidents by utilising Glasdon’s winter safety equipment – essential tools like grit bins, salt spreaders, and snow shovels that effectively maintain safe walkways and outdoor spaces throughout the colder months.
Recently, we introduced the Turbocast™ 400 to our range – a high-performance, user-friendly manual salt spreader capable of broadcast spreading dry, damp or wet grit/salt economically and quickly over large areas.
By incorporating initiatives such as recycling, investing in comfortable seating, and prioritising winter safety, schools can create an enriching learning environment that will greatly contribute to students’ development during their formative years.
And, with over 60 years of experience in designing, manufacturing and supplying essential products, Glasdon is the ideal partner to bring these school necessities to fruition.
