The benefits of School Landscape Design & Grounds Development

Invigorate the school’s commitment to improving the health and well-being of everyone involved, from the nursery toddler through to the Chair of Governors

Explore the possibilities of integrating physical education

Dramatically enhance the education your facility can bring to pupils by applying basic Science, Maths, English, Geography and Geology through a new school landscape design.

Influence children’s attitudes and behaviour through the design, use and management of the playground design which constitutes a ‘hidden’ curriculum.

Achievement of key Government initiatives including neighbourhood regeneration and local and community planning

School landscape design and playground design presents an opportunity to improve the quality of time spent outdoors both for pupils and for staff. There are many areas of research conducted by schools, universities, government agencies and charitable organisations that support the positive benefits which an inspiring school landscaping installation can achieve, from a reduction in violent behaviour in the school playground, the provision of positive social experiences for children through to increased attention and activity in the classroom.

Primary Landscapes provide a radically different approach and service solution for school playground design that aim to stimulate, enthuse and motivate children. We offer an initial free consultation and site visit. Our goal is to make naturally receptive learning environments in your outdoor spaces. We help all the way through the project process to realise your Schools’ vision. This is one area which sets Primary Landscapes apart from larger providers who, essentially, deliver a play area and school playground in an off-the-shelf manner. We aim to harness children’s creative potential and exploratory spirit allowing them to enter into abstract and informal ways of thinking.

Our radically different approach and service solution promotes LOtC (Learning Outside the Classroom) guidelines. We endeavour to create play areas which are beneficial to students, school staff and members of the wider community.

Our service involves you from initial consultation taking the information you provide, to a design concept that meets with your requirements and outcomes. Our support leads on through playground design specification to build completion, ensuring your vision for the school play area becomes a successful reality.

If required Primary Landscapes can provide continuing care to the site in the form of maintenance packages and handbooks.
