Outdoor Playground Equipment For Schools
Playground equipment for schools maximises the value of play – after all, play time is just as important as structured lesson time when it comes to child development.
Our range focuses on every type of outdoor play, allowing schools to design inclusive playgrounds which bring pupils of different interests, abilities and backgrounds together.

We design, manufacture and install high quality timber playground equipment for schools with the emphasis on learning and fun.
Climbing Frames and Play Towers are popular additions to school playgrounds, offering plenty of opportunities for pupils to let off steam and stay active throughout the day.
Active play helps to keep young people engaged, with research showing many more positive outcomes such as improved academic attainment and behaviour.
School play equipment can help keep pupils fit and healthy as well as offer important learning opportunities such as the development of fine and gross motor skills.
Trim Trails are also included in our playground equipment for schools range, providing physical challenges for youngsters to tackle as well as being made available for PE lessons and sports warm ups.
