Sutcliffe invites children to create their own play designs

Sutcliffe Play invited Year 6 pupils from Moorthorpe Primary School, located close to its HQ in Upton, Yorkshire, to find out more about the design and manufacture of play equipment. The visit was part of the school’s design and technology project for the term ahead.

Members of Sutcliffe’s Design and Sales team were then invited to catch up with the pupils at the school as they completed their projects of designing a brand-new playground equipment. This visit was where the children were able to present their exciting design ideas to the team.

There were ziplines, slides, swings and roundabouts and the Sutcliffe team said it was “totally blown away” by the children’s innovation and dedication. Their knowledge of some of the most important concepts in play – including colour, materials, play value and inclusivity – was “genuinely inspiring”.

“The creator of the standout designs received a special prize and everyone took home a goodie bag for all of their hard work,” a spokesperson for Sutcliffe said.

“Our collaboration with the school is the latest example of our commitment to expanding our business’s social value and supporting our fantastic community.

“Thank you to Moorthorpe Primary School for giving us the chance to see these wonderful young creative minds at work! We can’t wait to see them making their mark in the years to come.”
