St Peter’s London Dock’s CE, London

St Peter’s London Dock’s CE Primary School is a small, friendly, church school, steeped in the rich history of Wapping and the London Docks area. It is a school whose foundations over 150 years ago continues to inspire its ethos and values today. It is an outstanding school that is committed to improving further with a clear focus on maximising the achievement of each member of their rich and diverse community.

The Challenge

The area is a small narrow space that they wanted to be able to utilise for EYFS. The existing grass had worn down to mud. An existing cherry tree’s roots created a mound near the centre of the area which the school were keen to incorporate in the space. They wanted to include elements of equipment to increase physical activity as well as a mud pit and resurfacing of the area with artificial grass to keep a natural feel.

The Solution

Working with the narrow space, we were able to add jungle bars and one of our tree trails from our WildWood range to help promote physical activity. The existing mound was reduced and shaped adding a feature to the centre of the space. A bespoke sleeper mud pit with PVC cover was designed for the corner of the space. We also resurfaced the space with our high quality artificial grass. The end result was a complete transformation which the children love.

Customer Feedback

Fantastic service straight from the beginning – communication, planning, ideas, quotes until final handover. Everyone was highly efficient, professional, and friendly. The work was planned to be done within 4 days but the team worked so hard and were coming in early so that it was finished within 2 days! They were incredibly professional, polite and pleasure to have on site. We are really grateful for the fantastic work they did.

The children absolutely love their new playground and we are highly recommending ESP PLAY!

Thank you again for everything – Alena Damijo – Acting Head
