About Us

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce our company Education and Special Projects Ltd (ESP). We specialise in the design, installation and support of the outdoor resource in Early Years, Primary, Secondary and SEN schools throughout the UK. The concept of the company originated from academic research that suggests that the outdoor resource can deliver a range of improvements that create a positive impact on the whole school and provide valuable evidence for;

• SEF
• Every Child Matters
• National Curriculum and Cross Curricular Links
• Health
• PESSYP
• Contribution to Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills
• Leadership....And much more.

I am very proud to say that we have been very successful in delivering our Multi-skill pathway / Movement concept through the use of specifically designed playground markings. This has been researched by Leeds Metropolitan University, in order to improve the movement competencies of children and increase daily participation in high quality physical activities. Our Multi-skills pathway has created a continuum and smooth transition from Primary through to Secondary Schools.

We recognise the potential to deliver whole school improvements by establishing a purposeful relationship between the inside and the outside classroom. After working as true educational partners with thousands of schools from all over the UK, ESP delivers the most up to date advice on playground design as well as a high quality installation service.

With our nationally recognised education team headed by Dr David Morley, ESP support all of our playground work with a high quality range of CPD training modules, all of which have been accredited by the Professional Development Board of AfPE.
