St Kentigern’s is a city school dating from the Edwardian period and its outside spaces are small and have an urban feel. Staff at the school felt that the positive behaviour and relationship building they had done indoors courtesy of Creative Partnerships/Curious Minds was being undermined at playtimes. Photographer Pippa Pixley and movement artist Anna Daly spent time in the playground watching the children using the spaces, devising activities and games and feeding their results into a truly child centred approach to the design of the outdoors. 

St Kentigern’s will be sharing its experience and giving tips on using your outdoor space for maximum benefit at the FREE Teacher CPD event on January 18^th
