Helping to Build Healthier and Happier Schools
Schools don’t only teach children standard subjects like English, maths, science. Teachers help their students grow and progress their childhood development, from early years to year six. Primary schools should help children develop cognitive, physical, and social skills. School playground equipment plays a valuable role in helping children learn these skills and ensures that they benefit them throughout their lives.
At KOMPAN, our team understands how outdoor school playground equipment can support children’s development. Playtime activities should be creative, innovative, and exciting. The best playgrounds are built for children to have fun taking part in activities that benefit them. They should also be inclusive of all needs. Our team has years of experience building playgrounds for special education schools, so we understand how children’s needs are all unique. We design all the playground equipment we provide to stimulate children’s minds, appeal aesthetically, and encourage physical activity through fascinating play opportunities.
We provide high-quality playground equipment to schools in the UK for all ages and needs. Our team offers an extensive range of playground equipment to primary schools, secondary schools, special education schools, universities, and early years schools. KOMPAN helps you to transform outdoor areas into creative, social spaces that offer innovation, excitement, and, most importantly, fun and education for all age groups.
Why Children Love our KOMPAN School Playground Equipment
Playground designs have evolved from when the first playground was created in Germany. The purpose of this first design was to teach children the ‘correct’ way to play. Over the years, playground equipment designs have progressed into the innovative creations KOMPAN’s team provides to schools today. We believe that there is no ‘correct’ way to play, unlike the first playground designers. Our designs provide multiple safe and exciting play opportunities that support children’s development.
School playground equipment should capture children’s imaginations. Our playground designs engage with children’s creativity to encourage them to play in a way that benefits their development. From creating interactions with their friends to the opportunity to conquer an awe-inspiring climbing frame, there are many reasons why children love our playground equipment.
Well-designed play areas are like outdoor classrooms that support children’s social and physical development. Our playground equipment inspires children’s imaginations through innovative and exciting designs to enable students to learn through play. At KOMPAN, we offer a wide range of products including climbing frames, PE equipment for school playgrounds, and outdoor school playground equipment that guarantees safety at great value for money, while being inclusive for all school ages and abilities.
Increasing Attendance
School children across the country have taken to the playgrounds KOMPAN provides. Their imaginations are drawn to the promise of unique play structures with various levels to create trails through as they explore. To kids in primary school, a playground is as much a social experience as it is about physical activity. Our playground equipment offers a social space for children, as well as unique and creative school play equipment that encourages students to attend school so they don't miss out on the playground.
An Attractive School Environment
Children of all ages learn better in environments that they enjoy. Our KOMPAN outdoor playground equipment for schools can contribute to lesson plans to bring learning onto the playground. It is important, especially for primary schools, to offer playground equipment that encourages physical learning while providing mental stimulation as well. Our creative play equipment designs also provide an appealing school appearance for prospective parents and students.
Raising Pupil Attainment
Ensuring the health and safety of children who are using KOMPAN play equipment is one of our primary goals, that is why we provide safe playground flooring installation as standard. Having a safer playing environment encourages children to challenge themselves and attempt physical activities they may not have tried before. To build up children's self-confidence they must step out of their comfort zones through independent exploration. When a child plays on a climbing frame without help for the first time this gives them a sense of achievement for succeeding at something new.
Boosting Academic Achievement
Many studies have found a consistent link between the use of sports equipment and an improvement in educational achievements. Providing exciting and engaging outdoor play equipment for children allows them to relax and engage their creativity out of the classroom. Interesting and imaginative playground equipment helps children to improve their fitness while encouraging mental stimulation that can boost academic achievements.
Improving Student Attention
We are an experienced business especially when it comes to supplying school playground equipment. This means we understand that providing opportunities for play and physical activity has a positive impact on classroom behaviour. When children are allowed to play games in the playground this can increase their attention span in class directly afterwards. At KOMPAN we ensure this happens by designing each of our products so students can get the most out of their freedom to play across all child development areas.
Our School Playgrounds Offer Great Value For Money
The playground designers at KOMPAN focus on how the equipment benefits children throughout every aspect of the design process. We aim to create school playground equipment that offers multiple play opportunities across the design. Our climbing frames not only help children’s physical development but encourage social interaction and help build students’ self-esteem and problem-solving skills.
Investing in KOMPAN’s school playground equipment provides structures that feature many unique play opportunities. You can also choose equipment that’s tailored to specific age groups, abilities, and special educational needs. Working with our team gives schools value for money while ensuring the equipment is safe, beneficial, and fun for all children.
A key part of KOMPAN's business that has helped establish and maintain our market-leader position is our work with the KOMPAN Play Institute. At the KOMPAN Play Institute, we work alongside expert researchers and scientists to conduct in-depth studies into children’s health, learning, social inclusion, and development. This is one example of how our dedicated and passionate team is always monitoring the latest trends so we can provide the best service and product possible to your school and students.
