Playground design that supports learning and development

At Corpus Christi Primary School, the playground plays a significant part in supporting the school's goal of being a nurturing place where everyone feels safe, happy, and valued. A place where all children are supported to reach their full potential. The design of the playground makes it easier to manage play time, and the layout supports outdoor learning. As a result, the school has experienced a significant improvement in school attendance, behaviour, and cooperation between the pupils.

"I would definitely suggest to anybody who is the headteacher of a school to do the same thing, and to provide more equipment for children to play with. It has a huge impact on attendance, behaviour, confidence, and friendship."

Head Teacher Gayle MacDonald - Corpus Christi Primary School

The learning playground

The playground is divided into different "age zones," by way of different colored surfacing, to support the needs of both younger and older students. The older students are challenged physically with fitness playground equipment while the younger students enjoy creative and imaginative playground equipment. Both groups also enjoy freestanding equipment, including various carousel and spinning cup playground equipment as well as playground seesaws.

The zones incorporate equipment with highly social elements, stimulating creative thinking, games, and social interaction. This leads to more settled bodies and minds during class time, allowing the children to focus on learning.
