Jon, your Outdoor Grounds Consultant
My role is to help you create an outstanding play area and ensure that everyone involved enjoys the journey. I have been at Playforce for a few years now (I won’t tell you how long) and my children agree I have an amazing job; nothing beats helping pupils to have fun and learn new things. From my previous work in creative roles that link to sport (including Ipswich Football Club), I have a real passion for creating designs that encourage physical activity. I am an Outdoor Grounds Consultant for hundreds of Headteachers and so have extensive knowledge to share with you about educational play.
What is the best thing about my region?
I enjoy helping to tackle the entire spectrum of play challenges, so the diversity of cultures and landscapes ensures that no project is the same.
What is my top tip?
In addition to enhancing play, a well designed outdoor space will improve behaviour and wellbeing. Consider all children, especially those who play in small groups or like some peace and quiet.
My favourite outdoor memory?
Outdoor science lessons were really memorable. We collected mini beasts and plant samples to classify and examine; this was great preparation for field trips at secondary school!
