Walsham Le Willows Primary school is a small, rural school in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. The school approached ESP PLAY in 2022 as they were looking to develop the KS1 area. They were specifically looking to create an outdoor classroom space with a shelter and seating.
They had an area that wasn’t being used as it got muddy in wet weather. ESP visited the school as part of our free consultation and design service. Following the visit we created a plan and itemised quotation for the outdoor seating area so the staff and children could visualise the space.
We proposed a bespoke shelter adding artificial grass to the base which allows it to seat more children as well as seating around each of the sides. In a separate space our story telling chairs and bench seats create an open outdoor learning area.
