The schools objective is to create a fun and exciting fitness trail that incorporates the existing Tarmac Playground and footpaths. Even though the trail is incomplete the headteacher has reported that the newly installed equipment is very popular and they are very much looking forward to the next stage which should see its completion. We also carried out a sensitive silvicultural thinning of the woodland copse in the corner of the grounds. The objective was to promote the area as an environmental learning resource. This part of the overall grounds development project is to be further continued with Tree planting, path construction and orienteering feature.

BEACONSIDE JUNIOR C E SCHOOL

After a productive meeting on 15th April 2008 we have secured a project to provide an Activity Trail for Beaconside C E Junior School, large enough to accommodate a large number of children. The trail will promote fitness, eye, limb co ordination, agility, problem solving, team building, decision making, competitiveness and loads of fun. The design and costs for the Activity Trail were co ordinated with the pupils. A budget figure had to be accommodated and the children had to prioritise with regard to their selection of equipment to go in.
