At The Playground Company, based in the heart of Cheshire, we’ve seen a surge in schools across the North West of England investing in their outdoor play spaces - and for good reason. From Manchester to Merseyside, and Lancashire to Cumbria, forward-thinking schools are realising the long-term value of well-designed playgrounds.
If you’re a headteacher, site manager, or school governor in the North West, here’s why upgrading your playground equipment in 2025 is more important than ever:
1. Playgrounds That Promote Health and Wellbeing
In today's digital age, encouraging children to engage in physical activity is more crucial than ever. Children across the UK are spending more time indoors - and schools in the North West are stepping up to change that. High-quality outdoor play areas give pupils space to move, explore, and unwind. Our equipment is designed to promote physical fitness, improve mental health, and get children moving - even on those cold, rainy Lancashire mornings
2. Support for Curriculum-Based Outdoor Learning
Whether you’re in a Cheshire primary school or a Cumbrian village academy, outdoor learning is now a core part of the curriculum. Our bespoke playground designs integrate natural elements, role-play features, and even outdoor classrooms to help teachers deliver lessons beyond the traditional four walls. Our Shelter, Shade & Classrooms solutions offer versatile spaces for lessons, group activities, and creative exploration.
3. Customised Designs for North West School Environments
No two schools are the same - and no two playgrounds should be either. From urban schools in Liverpool to rural sites in Northwich or Preston, we provide tailored playground solutions to suit your site, budget, and vision. Our experienced design team works with you to maximise space and meet your specific needs.
4. Inclusive Equipment for Every Pupil
Our team believes every child deserves the chance to play. That’s why we create inclusive playgrounds for children of all abilities - featuring sensory panels, accessible surfacing, and wheelchair-friendly play structures. We're proud to support schools across the North West in promoting equality through play.
5. A Strong Investment for Your School’s Future
Playground improvements can boost your school's reputation and appeal. Whether you’re preparing for an Ofsted visit or aiming to impress prospective parents, a safe, inspiring outdoor area shows your commitment to child development and wellbeing. And with durable, low-maintenance equipment, it's an investment that lasts.
