In January 2021 we were approached by Rucstall Primary School. They required some help in maximising the potential of their playground. This first stage, improving sports facilities, would be the first of a three-year development plan.
Our Multi Goal Sharp Shooter was the perfect product to fulfil their immediate need. It offers a football goal, basketball net and targets for shooting or even throwing practise.
As part of a three-year project, we aimed to improve outdoor facilities at Rucstall Primary School. In the first stage, we wanted to increase opportunities for active play and enhance the school’s sports provision. After consulting with several companies, we chose a natural, wooden-style structure to fit the surroundings. Sawscapes Play was the best match for our vision.
Given our playground’s size, we installed two timber multi-end goals along the far edge. We also placed two permanent basketball posts on the opposite side. The timber multi-end goals have been incredibly popular. Our youngest children love climbing in and out of the targets at break time. Key Stage 1 and 2 students use the football goals and target holes for aiming and throwing.
Basketball is now the most popular sport at Rucstall. Attaching basketball nets to the timber goals created two full courts for PE lessons.
From initial design to final installation, the process was efficient and professional. We are thrilled with the outcome. In the words of a Year 6 pupil: “Break times are just SO much better now!” – Mr. Dan Mills, Deputy Headteacher.
