St Patrick’s Catholic Voluntary Academy, Sheffield

Take a look at this new school playground in Sheffield.

Through the whole school community, St Patrick’s exudes a real warmth and enthusiasm for lifelong learning. Their aim is to provide every opportunity in a Christian environment for their children to emerge as confident, articulate and independent young people. From the moment the children enter Nursery or Reception they believe in fostering in their pupils a Growth Mindset.

They want their children to embrace daily challenges and to use the experiences to make them stronger. They want their children to work beyond their expectations so that only then will they truly realise that the impossible is indeed possible.

ESP PLAY were contacted in October 2023 as the school had a climbing structure in the early years play area which was far too big for the children, not maintained and in desperate need of replacing.

The school was looking to install a new roadway, a small climbing structure, and a playground canopy area to enable continuous provision and to allow the children to be out in all weathers. The school was very keen to get the playground project completed as soon as possible.

Please read what Teacher, Lucie Criag had to say on the experience of working with ESP PLAY on this playground project:

“If you are looking for a professional playground installation company, then look no further than ESP PLAY!

After looking at quite a few different companies it was clear to us that ESP PLAY were the best company in the market to go with. When we gathered the different playground designs, ESP was the clear winner. We are now enjoying our beautiful, freshly installed playground.

Jason White, Area Sales Manager at ESP PLAY managed this project. He listened to our hopes, he offered excellent advice, he was professional, efficient and quick to respond to messages. He was very customer focussed, he checked in throughout the installation and also at the end of the project to make sure we are happy.

It was really reassuring to have him oversee it all and answer any questions we had. The playground installation team were incredibly hard working and we couldn’t believe the pace they worked. The standard of workmanship is first class. They were friendly and fun to have around. The resources that have been used are of a really high quality and we know they will be long lasting. The children are mesmerised by it!

Thank you ESP PLAY for transforming our new Nursery playground.”
