Our Sport products ensure pupils leave primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to lead a healthy lifestyle and commit to a lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

The children just LOVE it now, we are finding it hard for them to want to come inside!’ ‘The bespoke castle is such a hit with all the children, even the youngest children can find a way up onto the top platforms...we keep them off the more challenging bits as they can grow into using these once they get older.
The whole space has just encouraged the staff to be creative and think about how they can plan a lesson around using X outside…we have spent a lot of time setting up a ‘welcome to your new area’ for children who are starting with us and new to the area, this really helps us with our baseline assessments
Jackie Garner - Harbinger Primary School, London
I’m extremely impressed with the service and quality of work that we’ve received from Pentagon Play. They’ve been working with our trust on a large project over nine different sites and the planning process has been faultless. The team has even helped our school’s adjust plans at short notice without any issues whatsoever. Again the installation has been faultless, we haven’t had any issues whatsoever and the team have been so helpful throughout the whole process. The end product is amazing, it has transformed our schools outdoor provisions completely and we’ve had nothing but amazing feedback from parents, pupils, teachers and governors. Having them work on this project has been amazing from a project management point of view and it has massively improved the learning environment for our pupils.

We contacted Pentagon regarding our playground markings as we have had a positive experience in the past with them. The installers arrived and completed all the playground markings on the same day with no disruption to the operation of the school. From initial consultation through to installation, it was a positive and hassle-free project.

Working with Pentagon has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. From the very first meeting, Marion listened to what we wanted and advised on what they could provide for our needs and budget. Throughout the whole project, Pentagon has provided the highest standards in communication, workmanship, quality equipment and value for money.
Karen - Old Stratford Primary School, Milton Keynes
Our new mud kitchen has really enhanced the children’s learning. They are developing their motor skills, creative thinking, investigative skills and understanding of mathematical concepts. The children chatter endlessly whilst they are in the area – asking and answering questions, linking their play to their own experiences and acting out their own story lines. All this whilst playing with mud, glorious, mud!
Carly Pearson – Nene Valley Primary School, Peterborough
We would like to say how much we appreciated the two guys being here, they were friendly, great with the children who wanted to know all about their tools they were using, and very courteous to both the staff and governors, and with their awareness of the health and safety aspects. Much appreciated!
