About us
We are fundraising to install a brand-new Primary Playground in Jordanhill School.
We have a fantastic amount of space for our children to play each day, however, it is currently uninspiring and offers limited play facilities and the football area has bins for goals.
Our pupils would love a new play playground and we need your support to make this happen.
Outdoor learning and outdoor play are an integral part of children’s education. Primary aged children have the right to time and space to play and explore. Play is an essential part of their development.
Daily participation in activities such as climbing, roleplay or challenging themselves on balancing apparatus can have a positive impact on children's ability to learn and thrive. Outdoor play also helps children develop a range of essential learning skills such as resilience, collaboration, and concentration all of which can be transferred back into the classroom.
The Jordanhill playground has been designed and equipment selected by our group of Playground Ambassadors comprising of two pupils from each year group from P1-P7 and we are very proud to say it is designed by our children for our children!
We now have a fabulous playground design which is also manufactured with sustainable products, courtesy of the company we have selected, Kompan. Even more excitingly, our installation is booked for summer 2024. The project will cost £250,000 inclusive of all installation costs and resurfacing and the equipment will carry a guarantee of 30 years meaning not only current but many future generations of Jordanhill pupils will benefit from this fantastic project.
We need your help to make our new playground a reality!
We will be raising the £250,000 several different ways for example, through grants, our incredible PTA, corporate support and matched funding, events, and of course, our community of past and present Jordanhill families.
Please support us in whatever way you can, by fundraising, supporting our events or donating directly to the project. We are very grateful for all your support!
Thank you.
