Outdoor play equipment for secondary schools 

Although primary schools are our largest customer, we also work with a number of secondary schools across the UK. 

From outdoor fitness equipment to health trails for PE lessons, our outdoor play equipment is designed to be enjoyed without worrying that it wont be able to withstand heavy use. 

A growing trend for secondary schools currently, is to include outdoor fitness equipment like pull up bars and calisthenics-style equipment to focus the pupils during their break times whist improving fitness. 

Playground equipment for special schools 

We regularly train our staff in SEND-related topics to ensure they are at the top of their knowledge game when offering your school honest and trustworthy advice about our products. 

Of course, a number of our existing playground pieces are suitable for supporting pupils with SEND across all four broad areas of need. However, we do have several ranges that are wheelchair-access friendly and designed for pupils who require additional support with mobility. 

Our Sensory Island range is one of the most popular for schools looking to invest in wheelchair-accessible play equipment, alongside our cradle sensory swings and wheelchair-accessible roundabouts. 

You can access the full SEND-specific ranges via our brochure or get in touch with one of our SEND-trained team to chat about the needs your pupils have.
