Schools are first and foremost places where students go to learn. However, they receive a number of visitors and still need to look the part! School entrance canopies are smart and practical – offering a shelter from the elements and an attractive way to give your school’s exterior a lift. In this article, we discuss the benefits of school entrance canopies and the available options for your site.

What are school entrance canopies?

School entrance canopies are wall-mounted or freestanding structures that act as a focal point for visitors to the school. They provide a useful, weather-proof spot for visitors to the school to wait in or meet at. First impressions count! When someone arrives at your school having an attractive canopy to keep them dry and comfortable can make all the difference. You can even have your entrance canopy branded to match your school colours – for an impressive addition to your building!
