INTRODUCTION
Guestling Bradshaw CE Primary School is situated in a semi-rural area between Hastings and Rye in East Sussex.
The schools main vision statement is learning together, furthering knowledge, while nurturing resilience and positive attitudes needed to thrive and become life-long learners.
GOALS
The school wanted to develop their playground to inspire all the children in Reception, Year 1 and 2. They wanted to design a playground that would enhance outdoor play, physical activity and create a fun environment where children develop their communication and imagination.
THE DESIGN PROCESS
The school had been raising funds through the PTA and grant applications.
Our local play consultant Neil discussed plans and ideas with the school business manager and gave lots of suggestions on how best to use the space, ensuring maximum play value whilst still achieving learning outcomes the school required.
A 3d visual of the proposed new play area was presented to the school, and with a couple of small amendments, the desired design was agreed and the process to install the exciting new play space could begin.
FINAL INSTALL
| Jolly Roger | Essential – Borneo Trail | Duralawn Surfacing |

KEY RESULTS
- Encouragement of new friendship, behaviour improved, and imagination enhanced.
