Make your Children Smile with an Inclusive Playground

Make your Children Smile with an Inclusive Playground

Imagine how it feels to be only able to watch other children play? For some children, playtime can be a lonely time when they feel isolated and unable to participate in games and use the equipment that other children take for granted. Other children may be able to let off steam and express themselves easier in an outdoor environment. All children love to be independent.

At Schoolscapes we believe that playtime can be inclusive and provide fun and happy memories for everyone. Discover our wide range of sensory and specialist equipment that can engage and inspire children of every age and all abilities. We believe that there should be something for everyone in every outdoor play area.

Protect Children’s Eyes With Outdoor Fun!

Protecting Children's Eyes

Here at Schoolscapes we are dedicated to making outdoor learning fun and accessible to all children. We listen carefully both to teachers and to children to design the most engaging outdoor play equipment and to create stunning outdoor learning environments, where children naturally learn and develop through active play, investigation and discovery!

We are therefore very concerned about the global increase in short-sightedness in children, but at the same time pleased that we can support both parents and educators in protecting children’s vision. By being advocates for encouraging children to engage in increased outdoor play, they can reap the many benefits from fun in the sun.

Create Future Sports Stars!

MUGA - Create Future Sports Stars!

Global sporting events such as the World Cup and Wimbledon always hope to inspire the young sportsmen and women of the future. Success in a sport comes through practice and dedication, as well as through talent.  But where would the top sports stars be today if they had never had the chance to even try their sport?  Here at Schoolscapes, we believe that all children should have the chance to engage in different sports, so they can discover which they enjoy, which they are good at and which they’d like to focus on into the future.

The Effectiveness and Impact of Music in Schools

Ofsted inspections are increasingly focusing on how schools are providing a broad and balanced curriculum, where creative subjects such as Music play a key part. With pressures to reach the raised standards for English and Mathematics, this presents a challenge for teachers, especially when teaching year groups where children are taking the Statutory Assessment Tests (SATs). However, making the time to include creativity and Music in the curriculum, will positively benefit both your children and your school.
