Portable Classrooms and Buildings
With school budgets often stretched to their limits, the cost-effectiveness of modular school buildings is a key factor in meeting the increasing demand for school places and creating inspiring learning environments.
TF Jackson specialises in constructing prefabricated portable classrooms and other modular educational buildings for schools, colleges, universities, and local authorities. We understand that School Business Managers and Headteachers have enough on their plates without worrying about complex construction projects. That’s why at TF Jackson, we offer a fully managed, turnkey service that takes care of everything from groundworks and connections, right through to handover and snagging, so you don’t have to worry.
Cost-effective and quick-to-install, prefabricated portable buildings can make excellent classrooms (singular or double units), restroom facilities, and dedicated spaces for art, sports, and other extracurricular activities. Modular units are easily scalable to accommodate any size and can be swiftly and efficiently installed with minimal disruption.
We strongly focus on designing and engineering low-carbon footprint portable school solutions. Offsite manufacturing and assembly mean fewer vehicle movements to the site during the construction process and reduced waste to landfill. We are accredited under a range of frameworks, including LHC and NHS Shared Business Services and have developed relationships with finance solution providers and phased payment schemes.
TF Jackson’s portable classrooms and modular school buildings offer the perfect blend of quality, adaptability, and sustainability, ensuring that schools can focus on what they do best—teaching and supporting the next generation.

Why Choose a Portable Classroom
Schools regularly face challenges created by changing curriculum needs and growing year groups. Traditional building projects are very costly and time consuming to build so when it comes to budget and speed, portable school classrooms are winners.
The perception that a prefabricated classroom is a poor substitute for bricks and mortar is outdated and shortsighted. A portable classroom has all the facilities you’d expect, is energy-efficient and can be designed to reflect your school’s exact requirements. Furthermore, a modular school building can be a stylish addition to a school campus. A portable classroom can be designed to look aesthetically pleasing by using exterior finishes such as vibrant colours, wood cladding, or brick facades. Large windows enhance natural light, while decked surroundings open up the space. Interior design elements like modular furniture, wall art and creative layouts combine functionality and visual appeal.
Although often referred to as temporary classrooms, modular classrooms can be a long-term school asset. TF Jackson can provide units ideal for temporary overflows as well as more permanent solutions. Modular classrooms are also mobile structures that can be transported to a different location with the right logistical support.
