Case Study: Improving Attention, Attainment and Attendance

Facilities Whole-school issues
A case study from Guiseley Primary School in Leeds focusing on how they worked with KOMPAN Schools to overhaul their playground equipment and create a more challenging and enjoyable set-up for their pupils

Guiseley Primary School’s existing playground equipment wasn’t challenging or stimulating pupils enough, which was resulting in poor behaviour from the children. They needed something that would help assist and improve their attention, attainment and attendance.

The school wanted to change the playground to provide new physical challenges to channel the children’s physical energy in a structured way to help with learning.

The equipment needed to fit in with the natural surroundings and landscape as well as combat slipping issues from timber trails that had been installed in the past.

KOMPAN installed a Robinia Trim Trail for Guiseley Primary which fits in with the natural surroundings of the school. A trim trail is a fantastic product to provide physical challenges and cooperative play. The children can race around the trail or help each other to get through the course together.
