“The climbing wall and beams are symbolic of the partnership between the two schools, working alongside each other and supporting one another as they traverse the course and face different challenges along the way.”

“It’s made our playground a much more active and fun place to be. Before, very few children would be in the upper playground. Now, everyone is up there! It’s great to see children laughing and smiling with one another, whilst navigating the adventure course or testing their strength and agility on the climbing wall.”

“It’s great. Before it was very boring with nothing to do, but now I love going up there. It’s also quite challenging, which makes it really interesting and fun.”

As part of Highgate Primary School’s playground redevelopment project, a CSDS grant contributed towards the Climbing & Fitness Adventure Area. According to the headteacher: ‘The new activity wall and adventure playground is a fantastic addition to the outside spaces at Highgate Primary and completes our ambitious project to develop the school playground. The new area has given all children a brilliant space in which to play, explore, climb and challenge themselves.’
