The head teacher at Gorsley Goffs Primary School in Herefordshire invited us to build a free standing traverse wall to add to their existing play area. The wall we installed is double sided, with routes to suit the age range of 5 to 11 at the school.
The pupils provided the ideas for the artwork, including a mountain scene (with a volcano!) and a funky rectangular pattern with smiley faces.
Built on six big round posts, the wall has an adventure playground feel to it, with angled sections at each end.
Exceeded expectations.
– professionally made
– artwork good
– routes challenging but accessible for all children YR-Y6
– hand and footholds good quality
– Very good feedback from pupils, staff and parents
– great enthusiasm is generated
– children have fun and do exercise
– gives opportunities that cannot be offered in the school in any other way
– great for coordination, dexterity, balance and strength
