The teachers at Our Lady of Peace Primary School recognized the importance of physical activity and wanted to provide their pupils with a new adventure trail that would not only keep them active but also promote their overall health and well-being. Understanding that children often have unique preferences and interests, the school invited Scotplay, a renowned playground equipment provider, to collaborate on this exciting project.

Scotplay representatives eagerly visited the school to engage directly with the pupils and gain valuable insights into their favorite activities during breaks. The interactive session allowed the children to express their ideas and share their imaginations, fostering a sense of ownership and involvement in the design process. Scotplay listened attentively to their suggestions, from climbing and balancing to swinging and sliding, ensuring that the adventure trail would cater to a wide range of interests and abilities.

Pupil Feedback

After gathering input from the pupils, Scotplay’s team of experts meticulously assessed the school’s playground area. They considered the available space, topography, and existing infrastructure, taking into account the safety and accessibility requirements mandated for such installations. This thorough evaluation allowed them to determine the optimal placement of the equipment within the school grounds, ensuring that the adventure trail would seamlessly integrate into the environment and maximize its potential for fun and physical activity.

Throughout the planning stage, Scotplay’s professionals meticulously considered the durability and longevity of the equipment, aiming to create a trail that would withstand the test of time and accommodate the needs of generations of pupils. They selected materials that were not only sturdy and resilient but also environmentally friendly, aligning with the school’s commitment to sustainability and responsible practices.

With the collective vision of the teachers, pupils, and Scotplay’s expertise, the adventure trail at Our Lady of Peace Primary School began to take shape. The design incorporated a variety of elements, such as climbing frames, balance beams, monkey bars, and exhilarating slides, all strategically placed to encourage physical challenges and active play. Additionally, interactive panels and sensory features were integrated, stimulating the children’s imaginations and fostering their cognitive development while they explored the trail.
