The NEW Portakabin Decant School is an innovative interim solution that will not let your school standards drop.

When you need to decant a whole school, for any reason, you want to move into an educational environment of the highest-quality.

The new Portakabin Decant School offers a total solution from generously sized double classrooms, that at 64m² exceed DCSF guidelines on space - to highly specialised spaces such as:

• Dance studios
• Food technology departments
• IT suites
• Science labs
• Reception areas

With features such as building layouts that discourage bullying the NEW Portakabin Decant School uses the very latest in educational building design. 

The flexibility of the Portakabin Decant School means:

• learning clusters
• break-out rooms
• group rooms

can all be used effectively to enhance the learning experience. 

The latest educational thinking is also incorporated in the use of unisex toilets and the positioning of toilet blocks close to main reception areas to provide support to the anti-bullying strategies.

As part of the new Portakabin Decant School the Ultima Vision building can maximise natural light with its stunning floor to ceiling glazed external wall. That's important for your students because studies have shown that children who sat in classrooms with natural light performed up to 26% better than children who worked in artificial light.¹  

The new Portakabin Decant School addresses the twin government initiatives of Building Schools for the Future and the Primary Capital Programme which aim to rebuild and refurbish schools across the UK.

"Portakabin recognises the importance of offering unrivalled flexibility in design and layout to suit individual school requirements, as well as a fast and efficient response."

"Its modular buildings for interim use feature many inherent benefits such as space, proportion, robustness and high levels of natural light to create stimulating education environments with a sense of presence and identity for each school.  Delivered with significantly less disruption to teaching, this is an excellent and affordable solution without compromise."

The new Portakabin Decant School gives:

Speed of installation because the new Portakabin Decant School can be ready to use much faster than many other options.  That means that the disruption to your school can be minimised as the pre-fitted modules are craned into position, not built on site. This also has the environmentally friendly effect of reducing vehicle movements to and from site. Find out more about the sustainability of the Portakabin buildings.
