England Athletics in Schools for High Quality Sport and PE

Athletics is a sport which is becoming more popular year on year. Since the Olympics we have been encouraged to live healthier lifestyles and exposed to the fact that sport doesn’t have to be difficult but also fun and competitive. Athletics in schools opens up a whole array of activities such as long jump, high jump, javelin, hurdles, running, relays and so much more!

Where to Start with Athletics in Schools?

England Athletics have published a handy guide to help schools just like yours to teach athletics. One of the points that is emphasised heavily in the article is to make the sports more accessible and provide teachers with practical resources. This indicates that no matter how much effort you put into lesson plans if the right resources aren’t in place, it is likely that the sport won’t have as much of an impact as you would like. That’s where STM come in.

Synthetic Turf for Athletics

As expert suppliers and installers in synthetic surfaces we have created many athletics surfaces all over the UK from long jump pits  at Northfields School to 4-lane running tracks at Greenfields Primary school. Our Daily Mile running tracks have also been a huge hit this year and continue to be a popular installation.

Our non-abrasive turf is hard wearing and available in a variety of different colours. We can create something completely bespoke so whether you want a 2 lane curved of a 7 lane straight, we can optimise the space in your school, adhere to the number of pupils per class and create something that doesn’t just look good but performs fantastically well!
