Egremont Primary School Sports Surface

23rd June 2016

Our recent sports surface which we supplied and installed at Bookwell Primary School is finished and looking phenomenal! Ever wondered what you can do with an old natural grass patchy surface which gets unused and a wastage of space? Wanting to spruce up the facilities in your school and hit those Ofsted targets of creating a safe and engaging outdoor environment to extend learning? You’re in the right place.

Before we get into the Bookwell Primary project, we just wanted to start with an official Ofsted quote

“The first-hand experiences of learning outside the classroom can help to make subjects more vivid and interesting for pupils and enhance their understanding. It can also contribute significantly to pupils’ personal, social and emotional development”-Ofsted

Here at STM we believe that making the outdoor facilities of the school look attractive can engage pupils. After all a sports surface doesn’t have to be just a sports surface. The safety of the surface is a priority of ours and it means you could take the pupils out on a sunny day for drawing as a part of art lessons, or exploring nature as part of science classes. There are so many possibilities!

Let’s get onto the Bookwell sports surface project. Don’t forget Synthetic Turf Management take care of all of your artificial turf needs from start to finish which includes the full dig out of your existing surface:

This ensures that we can provide the best base works which deliver sufficient drainage and a smooth playing surface. Safety is always a priority here at STM.

After the base works are prepared its time to lay the artificial grass carpet. This should always be completed with great precision to ensure the trip free edging.

And the Headteacher was certainly pleased too!

"From start to finish STM have been excellent to deal with and helped me enormously from the beginning of my project to the final competition. Any questions I have had have always been dealt with quickly and STM have always done exactly what they said they were going to do. I have found the company to be very honest and clear in everything they have told me. I am so happy I used STM as the MUGA looks absolutely fantastic, the attention to detail was impressive and it will make a huge difference to our school. I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending this company."-Russell Hardy, Headteacher

Russell Hardy went on to say in The Whitehaven News that it will make such a huge difference to the PE provisions in the school. They even got The Voice star Jolan to officially open the new facilities!
