Merryfields School held a Garden Party to celebrate their new sensory adventure playground, which was designed and built by Fords of Blythe Bridge
The new 1200 square metre playground features play equipment designed specifically to support the sensory requirements of pupils, to improve balance and aid muscle coordination. Staff at the school worked closely with Fords of Blythe Bridge in the design stages to ensure maximum benefit to pupils from the sensory equipment.
Fords of Blythe Bridge carried out all landscaping works, including fencing works, new tarmac and soft play safety surfacing, as well as the installation of the trim trail, team swing and all accessible and sensory equipment.
Deputy head teacher Sarah Latham said: “We’re thrilled with the playground area, which provides a really important sensory experience for pupils, and which has a direct impact on their ability to learn in the classroom environment.”
Headteacher Sarah Poyner added: “The garden party is our way of celebrating these fantastic new facilities, of saying thank you to all those involved in the works and to those who have generously donated and helped raised money for the playground equipment we have so far.
