Outdoor learning turns it around for Rowanfield

Outdoor learning Facilities
Rowanfield Infant School in Cheltenham appointed HAGS to revive their dilapidated play area, offering limited play value. The existing play area was significantly underused as the original trim trail surfacing was extremely muddy during winter months.

The school was awarded funds to support important infrastructure projects, following an unsatisfactory Ofsted result. Headteacher, Aysha Akif, called on the expertise of HAGS Schools to provide a play area fit for purpose.

With an open brief, area sales manager, Michael Carter proposed improving the schools outside learning provision. The complete redesign incorporates artificial grass surfacing allowing the play area to be used all year round and includes three main zones.

The active zone includes a number of physical activities, pupils can tackle the clamber stack, explore the wigwam or ride the slides, encouraging pupils to develop their co-ordination, control and movement.
