Artificial Grass For Schools

Children deserve safe, clean, and fun spaces to play and learn. For schools, that means finding a surface that can cope with daily use, British weather, and the demands of both play and sport. Natural grass struggles to keep up – it becomes muddy, patchy, and high-maintenance.

Why Schools Choose Artificial Grass

Artificial turf transforms school outdoor areas. It gives pupils a reliable surface that can be used all year, whatever the weather. It also reduces maintenance for staff and creates spaces that are safer, cleaner, and more inviting.

Key benefits include:

• Safer surfaces with shock-absorbing underlays

• Always green, no mud or mess

• Cost-effective and long-lasting

• Customised designs with colourful EPIC play areas or sports markings

• Simple upkeep, with support from STM’s Synthetic Turf Maintenance team

Safety Comes First

At STM, safety is never optional. Every surface we install meets strict national standards, including Critical Fall Height (CFH) testing where needed.

Our “playpad” underlays absorb impact and reduce risk from trips or falls. For schools that need extra protection, we also provide wet-pour rubber surfacing and edging systems to create a secure, trip-free environment.

Astro Turf For Primary School Playgrounds

STM has developed EPIC – Education and Play in Colour, a unique system that uses bright colours, markings, and traditional playground games to bring learning to life.

EPIC playgrounds are perfect for Primary, Nursery, and SEN schools. They are safe, creative, and engaging, helping children develop both socially and physically.

SEN Surfaces

Every school community is different. For SEN schools, we design sensory play areas that are colourful, accessible, and practical. Our tailored artificial grass installations give pupils safe spaces to explore, interact, and play.

Secondary School Sports

Secondary schools need surfaces that can handle PE lessons, sports days, and constant use. Our synthetic turf can be designed for football, hockey, netball, basketball, and tennis.

STM works with world-class turf manufacturers, ensuring surfaces are tested to national and international standards. We also build full sports facilities, including fencing and multi-use games areas (MUGAs).
