White Bridge Community Infants School
Pupils at White Bridge Infants School helped change the face of the schools playground by designing their own special new characters
When Mrs. Julie Witterage, head teacher at White Bridge Infants School, Loughton in Essex invited me to the school for a meeting with the school council, I had no idea that I was going to meet a group of such creative and imaginative children. 'What we want in our playground are Aliens' said Mathew, to which all unanimously agreed. As a result an open competition was launched within the school and the children all submitted their Alien creations for a vote by the school council. The winners were selected and Mrs. Witterage sent me the original drawings.
I recreated the childrens designs, staying as true as I could and sent them to the council for approval. I received the following reply:
Dear Jonathan,
Thank you for the ‘Aliens’. We think they are wonderful and I’m sure the children will too.
Kind regards,
Julie Witteridge

Needless to say the designs were approved, so now to design the 'Space Themed Playground'. Rocket Hopscotches, Solar Systems and Aliens all contributed to a playground fit for would be space travelers. We had a fantastic day installing the markings, the children were all allowed to watch aspects of the installation under close supervision, many questions were asked by the children and hopefully their questions were answered.
As a company we pride ourselves on being able to create and design any type of playground markings and we actively encourage the children to come up with their own designs, after all the playground is their domain. If your school is looking to have new playground markings, why not get the children involved. I will happily come and visit your school, sit with the council and discuss their ideas, I think the results speak for themselves, in the words of Mrs. Witterage, Fantastic, really pleased, the children will love it.
Our thanks to all the children and Staff at White Bridge Infants, it was a pleasure working with you all - enjoy your playground.
