Our standard Portakabin Classrooms building is available for immediate hire from stock, and incorporates two 64m² classrooms that exceed Department for Education (DfE) guidelines on classroom size. Or we can create fully equipped classrooms of any size or configuration to meet your individual specifications, using our range of portable and modular building systems.

Crucially for schools, your new modular or portable classrooms will be installed quickly, safely and efficiently, so there will be minimal disruption to your pupils and staff. You can add Portakabin classrooms to your existing school buildings or even create extensions to your classrooms using Portakabin buildings.

Better classrooms enhance education and improve results
The quality of the learning environment plays an essential role in the effectiveness of teaching and learning. In fact, 76% of teachers agree that the quality of teaching space has a vital influence on pupils' ability to learn.¹ Research has also shown that test scores from children who are taught in well-designed buildings are up to 11% higher than those working in poorly designed buildings.² All Portakabin classroom buildings are designed in line with Department for Education (DfE) guidelines.
