Playground Equipment For Key Stage 2
As Key Stage 2 learners progress and become more and more mature, they need to have access to an outdoor learning environment that still pushes them to achieve more.
At this stage in their development, children have identified certain strengths and weaknesses that they have and our innovative playground designs can help children develop their strengths further and help rectify their weaknesses. For instance, our Multi-Use-games-Area (MUGA) will give children the platform to practice a sport that they are naturally gifted at and a Wildlife Area can be used to introduce children to concepts such as PH levels which will help prepare them for topics in secondary school.
The transformation has been amazing, our children just don't want to go home as they love playing on their new equipment.

The main objectives when developing the playground was to encourage physical activity in a fun and engaging way. The fantastic variety of equipment provides physical challenges that develop balance, hand to eye coordination, climbing confidence, upper and lower body strength, core stability and gross motor skills, but more than this it aids the development of a vivid and creative imagination within our children. New and wonderful games have been invented since the installation of the outdoor gym and trim trail and it is great to see the children work together to come up with rules and strategies for these games. I have even heard children talking about push and pull forces when on some of the gym equipment, showing that they are able to apply their knowledge to the outside world. Working with Pentagon Play has been a pleasant experience. Despite difficulties with lockdown in March Pentagon Play did everything they could to ensure we could have our playground installed and ready for use before the children came back. It was an amazing surprise for the pupils. Communication has always been clear and speedy. I would definitely recommend Pentagon Play to other schools.

We were very impressed with the level of service - from initial chat, through to installation. A very positive experience.

Working with Pentagon has been a positive experience. The consultant working with our school was very clear in explaining the product and service they provide. Any issues or queries were dealt with in a timely manner and the consultant gave good advice and suggestions during the consultation and planning phase.

The children really like performing on their new stage, they use it most playtimes and particularly enjoy the fact it has a roof aspect. Some days, they participate in imaginary play and others they enjoy sitting and talking. As staff, we use it for presentations and worship opportunities. Overall, it really compliments the play equipment next to it and is a much nicer and welcoming area. The children make very good use of their new play space!
