MATs - Playtime By Fawns

We’re approved suppliers for some of the largest MATs in the country

We work with CEOs, CFOs, Directors of Estates and Education (to name a few) to improve outdoor play provision across primary, secondary and special schools.

Your Multi-Academy Trust is a family of schools, and consistency is key. We work closely with MATs to prioritise academies in need of a playground refresh. Meeting the individual school and community needs, our expert playground consultants work with the MAT senior leadership team and individual schools to ensure your schools’ play provision mirrors your standards.

Playground Design and Manufacture Experts

For over 35 years, Playtime by Fawns have expertly crafted engaging, purposeful playgrounds for schools and nurseries. With specialist playground equipment available, inclusion is high on our list of priorities – our team are trained by SEND experts to meet the growing demand for inclusive by design playgrounds.

We often work with Multi-Academy Trusts in two ways:

Firstly, we are approved supplier for playground equipment for each school in the MAT.
Secondly, we are recommended to other schools within the MAT from existing clients.

As two thirds of our customers come from word of mouth recommendation and returning customers, we pride ourselves on excellent customer service and invest in our team to ensure your process is smooth and hassle-free.

Why choose Playtime by Fawns for your MAT schools?

At Fawns, we’re proud to work with Multi-Academy Trusts of all shapes and sizes across the UK. From growing Trusts just starting their journey to large, established Foundations with dozens of schools under their care.

What do they all have in common? They choose us because we make playground design for Multi Academy Trusts straightforward and high quality from start to finish.

We know that decision-makers in MATs, whether CEOs, CFOs, Heads of Estates or Executive Heads, are juggling dozens of priorities at once. So, when it comes to something as important as the outdoor play space, they want a provider that delivers excellent results without the stress.

That’s where we come in.

From your first enquiry to the final bolt tightened on site, you’ll feel confident, supported, and in control of the whole process.

Consistency across every school matters

A MAT is more than just a collection of schools; it’s a family. When it comes to your outdoor environments, this consistency really matters.

Whether you’ve got five schools or fifty, delivering high-quality, inspiring outdoor play equipment across the board means that every child, in every setting, has the same brilliant opportunity to learn, play and thrive.

It sets a benchmark of provision, helps staff across sites align with shared goals, and communicates a clear message to the wider school community: we care about pupil wellbeing and development.

With playground design for Multi Academy Trusts, we help you create that consistency while still giving each school a space that feels truly their own.

A Process That Works for Busy MAT Leaders

Your time is precious. You don’t want complexity, confusion or endless red tape. That’s why MAT leaders choose Fawns again and again, we’re known for making the process clear, smooth and hassle-free.

We regularly work directly with MAT CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and Directors of Estates, and we understand the wider strategic picture that goes into every investment. Whether it’s a one-school project or a multi-site rollout, we take care of the heavy lifting, so you can focus on the big picture.

Not quite ready to launch your next outdoor project? No problem. We’d still love to chat about becoming an approved supplier, so your Trust is ready to go when the timing’s right. You can even lock in multi-academy trust playground discounts ahead of time.

There’s no room for guesswork when you’re making a decision that affects the number of pupils in your care. That’s why we’re proud to offer guaranteed quality across every single site we work with.

Play Equipment That Reflects Your Values

Your Trust’s values shine through in everything you do. From curriculum strategy to safeguarding culture. Why should your playgrounds be any different?

When you invest in consistent, high-quality play environments, you’re sending a powerful message to staff, parents, pupils (and to schools considering joining your Trust).

You’re showing them your commitment to whole-child development, wellbeing, inclusivity and active learning.

We’ll work with you to design spaces that reflect your ethos, whether that’s promoting teamwork, boosting physical activity, encouraging risk-taking in a safe environment or supporting pupils’ personal, social and emotional development.

These aren’t just playgrounds. They’re outdoor learning spaces that align with your vision and values.
