Creating Zoned Environments: The KS1 Multi-Skill Hub at Clifford All Saints
Client
Clifford All Saints Primary School
Location
Sheffield, South Yorkshire
Project
Bespoke Robinia Climbing Zone & Sensory Discovery Area
Overview
Clifford All Saints Primary School sought to enhance the underutilised section of their grounds into a high-energy KS1 retreat. They wanted wooden play equipment that did more than just look good – it needed to challenge their students’ gross motor skills while offering a “blank canvas” for imaginative games. We designed a zoned environment that balances the thrill of climbing with the focus of sensory play, providing a dedicated space where physical development and creativity go hand-in-hand. Since the installation, the area has become a thriving hub of activity where children move seamlessly from swinging on the monkey bars to collaborating on the sensory lawn. It’s a space designed for the long term, built to support the school’s physical PE goals and daily lunchtime fun alike.
“It’s been wonderful to watch the children thrive! From swinging on the structures to using their imaginations for new games, they are enjoying every inch of the space. We can’t wait for the next phase!”
Karen Smith, Headteacher, Clifford All Saints Primary School
The story of Clifford All Saints is a story of building the foundation for active lives. We believe that a playground is the first place a child learns what their body is truly capable of. Schools trust us because we don’t just build frames; we build confidence. By hand-selecting the finest Robinia timber and designing layouts that spark the imagination, we ensure that every project we complete becomes a cherished sanctuary where children can grow, play, and discover their own strength.
