Playgrounds for Primary Schools
Primary playgrounds have to do everything at once — active play, quiet corners, PE and outdoor learning — for a huge range of ages and abilities. We design and install the whole space as one coordinated project.
Playgrounds for Primary Schools
A primary school playground is one of the hardest-working spaces in the building: it hosts break and lunch for the whole school, PE lessons, outdoor learning and after-school clubs. It has to challenge Year 6 and keep Reception safe on the same site.
We plan primary playgrounds around your age ranges, curriculum and budget — zoning active and calm areas, matching equipment to each key stage, and putting the right safety surfacing under everything. Every scheme is installed to BS EN 1176 and 1177 with one point of contact from design to handover.
What we design for primary schools
Safety surfacing
Wet pour, rubber mulch, artificial grass and grass mats, matched to each item's fall height.
Play equipment
Climbing frames, towers, trim trails and swings graded from EYFS to KS2.
Playground markings
Number grids, sports courts and games that turn tarmac into a learning resource.
Sports facilities
MUGAs, running tracks and outdoor gyms for PE and clubs.
Canopies and shelters
Covered outdoor classrooms and dining space that extend the school day outside.

Primary Schools: common questions
How do you design a playground for all primary ages?
We zone the space — active play, quiet areas, sports and outdoor learning — and grade equipment and challenge levels for EYFS, KS1 and KS2 so every child has something suitable, safely separated where it needs to be.
Can you work within our budget and phase the work?
Yes. We design to your budget and can phase a scheme across terms or funding years, so you can start with the highest-impact areas and add to them over time.
Do you handle everything or just supply equipment?
We deliver the whole project: design, groundworks, safety surfacing, equipment, markings and fencing, with one point of contact from the first visit to handover and inspection.
