Children Benefit from Play

This particular playground is currently a part of a World Playground Research Insitute study that KOMPAN asked if Clyde Campus would like to take part in.

The World Playground Research Institute is dedicated to promoting children's health, well-being, physical activity, and positive development globally by conducting research and leading advocacy for evidence-informed playground planning and design.

KOMPAN are committed to the research and development of our playgrounds to make sure children get the most out of their play time. Play is fundamentally human, it is a crucial part of childhood development, providing opportunities for children to learn, grow, and have fun. Through play, children develop their physical, emotional, and cognitive skills. It allows them to explore their creativity, challenge their boundaries, and build relationships with others. Play also helps children develop resilience, problem-solving skills, and self-esteem.

“One of our school values is for children to be ready. By us having excellent play equipment our children are more ready to learn. So, we have been trying to allow our children to be outside more often to play and to learn. So, the short time we have had our play equipment we have seen a massive impact on pupil behaviour and pupil wellbeing. Children are coming into class better ready to learn because they've been able to use all their energy on the play equipment and we have noticed children want to come to school.”

“I really love this pirate ship”

This fantastic play vessel is thrilling and full of varied play activities encouraging school children to play together. It spurs active outdoor play and stimulates dramatic as well as explorative play. The rich opportunities for climbing train cross-coordination, improving cross-modal perception, fundamental for improving reading skills. The ship theme encourages dramatic play, which is well known to stimulate language development and cooperative play. The varied ground level and elevated level manipulative elements and play panels support dramatic play, too, and stimulate thinking skills and turn-taking. Under deck, a great space features the funnel and numbers panel, great for the understanding of object permanence and e.g. numeracy. Sliding to the ground is great fun, but also supports balance and posture.
