- The existing outdoor equipment at Clepington Primary is old and broken, so much so that it is no longer safe for the children to play on. We are hoping to secure funding to replace the old structures with a trim trail and climbing net, allowing the children to safely develop their gross motor skills through play. This equipment will also be accessible to the community through the after-school club and initiatives run by local groups.
Description
Local Priorities: Improvements to outdoor play and recreation incorporating parks, green spaces and school playgrounds
The project will put three pieces of outdoor play equipment into the school playground with a bark surface. This will enable all the children in school(480 approx.) the opportunity to participate in large-scale play to develop their gross motor skills. It would also be available to the before and after school clubs, holiday clubs and the wider public. This will be an improvement to a currently bare piece of ground.
The design is based on the discussions which took place with the pupil council over a period of a school year. These class reps then took the ideas back to their classes so all children could have an input. The after school club's comment was "anything is better than the nothing we have at present"
