Synthetic Turf Management (STM) are a leading specialist in artificial turf surfaces and place a huge emphasis on primary and secondary school playgrounds, MUGAs and sports surfaces. Using British suppliers and a team of highly qualified installers they can create a bespoke surface fit for any school which support the national curriculum and aim to promote healthy and active lifestyles for children all over the UK.
The new national curriculum places a huge emphasis of outdoor learning for both primary and secondary school students, but for schools with limited facilities this may prove to be difficult to reach all of the desired requirements on a regular basis, especially with the temperamental British weather! STM can design, create and install an all-weather purpose, low maintenance, robust and practical surface.
Education and Play in Colour (or EPIC) is a product offered by Synthetic Turf Management, that transforms outdoor learning for children in primary schools. With the use of educational designs such as phonetics, number lines and alphabet markings, coupled with roadways, playground equipment, hopscotches, targets and fun characters, this creates a playground that pupils love to use and can learn from in those two hours they spend in the playground five days a week!

But it is not all about fun, STM pride themselves on the safety of their artificial turf surfaces and with the precision installation coupled with trip free edging and Pro Play and Safe Play shock pads which hold a high degree of elasticity and shock absorbance, means there are no scraped knees or hard landings.
Synthetic Turf Management offer safety and durability with Multi Use Games Areas (MUGAs) and install these surfaces with artificial grass. Having one surface that is suitable for football, hockey, netball, basketball, athletics, tennis and rugby makes full use of the space schools have and allows for every student to try a sport that they may excel in. STM provide all pitch markings in a variety of colours and can create a surface individual to the school’s needs. MUGAs can be designed in all different sizes and shapes and can even come as part of an EPIC for a playground shared by different year groups.
A MUGA Surface
The high quality turf is hard wearing and a huge asset to any school. Fencing and lighting options are also available to increase playing time.
STM are professional and always aim for the utmost convenience at every school. Their main aim with MUGAs is to be a customer focussed business making sure that every pupil has access to a range of sports facilities throughout the school week.
In addition to MUGAs and EPIC artificial turf surfaces, sports pitches are a common installation project for STM especially with specialist sports schools.

Football is one of the most popular sports in schools and has become more prominent for girl’s football. STM have installed artificial turf at Wigan Athletic which shows the sheer scale and expertise STM have in the sports and football sector. The latest turf technology is always used to increase player performance and remain a hard wearing, prestige, all weather purpose pitch throughout the whole year. Hockey pitches and tennis courts are among some of the artificial grass sports pitches STM can install as part of the school grounds.

Whilst also aiming to promote health and well-being, the specialist turf company intends to create an appealing outdoor environment in any school that encourages young people to spend more time outdoors. School landscaping is a popular choice for schools who want to give their grounds a makeover and make it appeal to the wider community. STM artificial turf can provide a low maintenance option that is mess free and will not result in mud being trailed through the school on a wet and rainy day!
