Key Stage 2

Let’s get straight to the point. Your Key Stage 2 children are developing fast and you want to extend them further by creating an outdoor play space that delivers social, physical and educational challenges. You have many pulls on your time, so you want to talk, at no cost, with a person you can trust and with whom you can develop a long-term and trusted relationship. It needs to be someone who understands your challenges and desired outcomes, because time is precious and the children are your priority.  So, you are looking for a trusted partner in Educational Play capable of giving you clear and succinct advice, not a faceless company. If you are reading this, rest assured  you’re on the right site and dealing with thetrusted partner in Education..

Does this sound familiar?

Over twelve years experience of designing and installing outdoor play environments means we, at Playforce, can empathise with your challenges and we can work with you to identify what works specifically for you and your school, whether you are head teacher, business manager, governor, teacher or member of the PTA -  Let me give you some examples: -

* You want your Key Stage 2 children to have ownership of their school grounds and the environment around them, forging links with the community, professional organisations and working collaboratively with one another.

* You want to empower your children by supporting them to be involved with school council and year group meetings, ensuring they are fully included in their school grounds transformation. You want your children to understand the project from start to finish, to assist with the process from fundraising and design, right through to installation and beyond.

* You want to teach PE, citizenship, re-enact stories and teach science and exploration outside.

* You want to be inclusive, and you want your children to be excited and challenged by their outdoor environment, to develop cooperative and interactive skills; to play freely, learn and have fun.

We know each setting is unique, so helping you make the most of your space and support your plans for the future proves rewarding for all concerned.  By working at your pace and discussing your ideas, our phased design-led approach allows you to make informed decisions (with other key groups, including your children and parents) with the confidence that, you remain in control while we will make it happen. Remember, this process is free of charge; it only costs you a small amount of your time!

* stimulate better classroom work in the afternoons. 

Indeed Angela Winch at Brookside Infants in Havering said, after we had completed her grand design that: ‘It really helped to improve things inside school too, for example the boys hand writing improved as they wanted to write about their Power Ranger games, that they had been playing outside!’[C M1] 

Indeed, at Willow Fields Community Primary School in Sunderland, teachers have reported an increase in their own motivation and have noticed huge improvements in pupil behaviour. Pupils now experience fun and rewarding challenges; they have the space and freedom to enjoy creative and exciting playtimes. “Playtimes are electric, everyday children queue up eagerly to play on the timber trail,” concluded Andrew Bainbridge, Head Teacher
