Here at Joseph Hood, we have a fantastic outside space for the children to learn and play in. We have a large main playground that is used by children in Years 1 to 6 and includes grassy areas and extensive climbing equipment.

 At the back of the main playground we have a beautiful, covered outdoor classroom that is used by the whole school. Leading off the Foundation Stage classrooms we have a purpose built playground exclusively for our Reception and Nursery children. This is equipped with appropriate imaginative play equipment and used throughout the day. It has also recently been updated with a Water Wall which was kindly funded by our schools PTFA.

For PE, our pupils also have access to Joseph Hood Recreation Ground, which is a two minute walk from the school and the older children use the sporting facilities at nearby Rutlish and Raynes Park High secondary schools. We have also had extensive work done on our playground to update it to enable us to enjoy a variety of activities safely and inclusively. With the recent updates, our playground now offers enhanced features such as modern equipment, improved accessibility, and dedicated spaces for different sports and recreational activities, ensuring it caters to the needs and interests of all age groups and abilities.
