We proudly partnered with Morgan Sindall Construction to deliver a comprehensive outdoor infrastructure solution for Whipman Woods Flying High Academy, working on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council. From design to installation, our focus was on creating durable and practical facilities that promote active travel and provide lasting benefits for the school community.

We supplied and installed a run of our Tornado Canopies to create a sheltered, welcoming space. Built with robust materials, the Tornado is a waterproof tensile structure that ensures longevity and requires minimal maintenance. Alongside the canopies, we delivered three Wardale Cycle Shelters, offering secure and accessible bike parking. These shelters are designed for ease of use and security, encouraging more pupils and staff to cycle to school.

To accommodate a range of cycling needs, we installed a variety of cycle racks, including two Sheffield Junior Cycle Racks and three Sheffield Senior Cycle Racks. These racks are known for their versatility and strength, having been certified by Sold Secure, supporting safe and organised bike parking. Understanding the importance of catering to younger students who use scooters, we also supplied a single-sided scooter rack, designed to keep scooters neatly stored and protected.

Our contribution helped create a safer, more attractive environment that encourages active travel, reduces vehicle congestion, and promotes healthier lifestyles. The facilities we provided at Whipman Woods Flying High Academy support Nottinghamshire County Council’s vision of sustainable travel options. The school now benefits from a range of modern features that make cycling and scooting to school a practical and enjoyable choice for its pupils and staff alike.
