Welcome to Hazelwood School

Hazelwood School’s outdoor learning environment has been greatly enhanced by the addition of a fantastic new treehouse classroom. The pupils are always delighted to spend time in the classroom-in-the-trees. After all who wouldn’t want to go to school and have their lessons in a classroom? The treehouse scheme provides the school with a special one-of-a-kind facility that not only encourages imaginative and creative play but enables the children to learn about the great outdoors while surrounded by nature.

Lessons in the trees!

The unique classroom-in-the-trees sits approximately 3m from ground level. Inside, the treehouse is lined with pine tongue and groove cladding to give a light and airy feeling. Natural light floods in through ten windows and there is both electric lighting and heating to create an all year-round environment for the school children to enjoy.

The raised treehouse platform provides fantastic views across the sports fields and can be accessed via a staircase made from rough-hewn softwood timber treads. The deck itself is hosts several exciting play items including a fireman’s pole and climbing wall. A rope bridge links the tree house to a further tree deck with a scramble net for the children to escape down. In the summer the large double doors to the classroom-in-the-trees can be opened wide creating an indoor-outdoor environment.
