PLAYSCAPE

Our agenda is to create a vibrant and inspiring learning environment for Prospect Vale Primary School’s EYFS and Reception, where play, exploration, and growth come alive every day. We will design both indoor and outdoor spaces, incorporating a variety of interactive learning environments that encourage curiosity and creativity. The goal is to create a functional, inclusive, and sensory-friendly space that supports all children, including those with special educational needs (SEN). This project aims to enhance teaching, foster confidence in early development, and provide a safe and inspiring space where children feel valued and comfortable. The output will not only benefit the students and teachers but also strengthen the school’s reputation as a forward-thinking educational environment. Our aim is to use the produced outputs to help the school secure funding for the creation of these spaces — inspiring not only the young children but also the stakeholders who have the power to fund future projects in educational settings.
