Carlton Hill Primary School > Eco School > School Grounds > The Story of Our New Playground
 
June 2009
After hearing about the development of the American Express building right across the road from us, we were concerned at the impact it would have on our school playground.
   
We met with Amex and the local council to discuss ways forward.
 
It was agreed that we would need to relocate the main play on Carlton Hill, to the space nearest Sussex St. Funding would come from Section 106 money from American Express, via the council.

When we knew that we were going to get a new playground, we wanted to make sure we got it right.

We decided to use Learning Through Landscape’s four stage process for transforming spaces to help guide us.

Stage 1: Where are we now?

Stage 2: Where do we want to be?

Stage 3: How can we get there?

Stage 4: Making the changes
