ST MARY'S SENSORY WALK

St Mary’s Levenshulme is a Primary School which strives to educate its pupils about the importance of sustainability and has a strong focus on play facilities and activities outdoors. The school’s emphasis on sustainability and reuse informs all design decisions alongside their ever-expanding forest school programme. In collaboration with this year’s First, Second and Fifth Year students, the aim of this event is to design and create a sensory walk. Working alongside the pupils, we will produce a working fully recycled component for use within the design as well as a full site model. Throughout the event we will be asked to present work and pitch our final design proposal to our Collaborator.
