Rakegate Primary School had a pre-existing outdoor fitness area which they used to promote physical activity during breaks and lunch times, as well as for outdoor learning purposes to help enhance PE lessons. Sunshine Gym were asked to replace the existing equipment with a selection from our range.
Before Sunshine Gym could install their equipment they were required to remove the existing equipment and repair the excavation holes that remained. Ground anchors were then concreted into position and left to harden. The tarmacadam was then repaired where the new equipment was installed. Next the equipment was bolted down into place. After one final clean and inspection a training session was held by Sunshine Gym to instruct teachers and pupils on how to safely and correctly use their new outdoor fitness equipment.
The equipment that was installed was a mixture of single and multiple user pieces from the children’s outdoor fitness equipment range. Multiple user pieces of equipment allow children to develop their communication and social skills whilst still helping to promote a fit and healthy lifestyle.
The equipment is enhancing our PE curriculum
I have to say how impressed we have been with the whole process from initial contact with your company to installation and beyond. From our initial contact with you we received a very quick response and a discussion/quote that included sound advice with regards to our particular situation. Installation was a very smooth process, with the team being accommodating to the school’s needs, friendly and efficient, leaving us with a quality product ready to use! The equipment has generated a great deal of interest and enthusiasm from the children and our parents/carers. We have had to introduce a rota system to ensure all the children get the benefit of its use! The equipment is enhancing both our PE curriculum and outdoor provision and is already proving to be money well spent.
