What Our Playground Markings Bring to Manchester Primary Schools

Affordable and Competitively Priced Designs

Our price-competitive service on like-for-like products means you’ll receive our full range of playground markings at the best possible price. Additionally, we include free bonus playground markings based on certain spend levels. This ensures your school gets the most value for its money without compromising on quality. 

The durability and long-lasting nature of our high-quality thermoplastic also makes all markers we install cost-effective.

Long-Lasting Fun Through Increased Durability

Our range of thermoplastic playground markings have the potential to last up to ten times longer than paint. They’ll withstand heavy, daily foot traffic and the scuffing and scrapes that come with walking and running shoes, plimsolls, and trainers. As a result, they’ll stay vibrant, functional, and ready to engage your pupils for years to come.

Thermoplastic material is also anti-slip, making it ideal for safety in outdoor play and learning environments.

A Safe Playground Surface to Support Growth and Development

As well as being anti-slip, all playground markings from our range are made from non-toxic materials and are designed to lay completely flat when properly bonded to a playground surface. Thermoplastic comes in bright colours for increased visibility and better marked areas. Additionally, all materials dry in around 20 minutes, reducing the risk of accidents during installation.

This creates games and activities that are easily used by children of all ages and abilities, while minimising the risk of injury.

Inclusive Designs to Encourage Physical Activity in All

We want to offer all students the opportunity to cultivate and nurture their skills. Our playground markings are thoughtfully designed to inspire and motivate students of all abilities to be active, develop in ways they may have not before, and enjoy the benefits of physical play with their peers. Here, we can help them foster a sense of community that sees everyone thriving.

A New Heart of Your School Community

Playground markings for schools do more than revitalise enthusiasm for playtime and outdoor lessons. They can also help boost your school’s overall success. Modern, safe, engaging outdoor spaces can increase student satisfaction, attract new families, and bring your school as a whole closer together.

That’s not even to mention how attractive and inviting a bright, vibrant community hub looks – especially one made just for your school!

Custom-Made Designs to Keep Your School Unique

If you’re looking for bespoke playground markings that match a specific need or preference, we’ll be happy to help you create them. Whether it’s school colours, a logo or badge, or a set theme for your outside space, our dedicated team will work with you to ensure you keep to your values and ideas. 

We’ll make almost any marking you can imagine workable, in a way that fits the educational needs of your students.

An Educational Focus – Always

Our markings encourage educational development in an enjoyable and interactive manner, helping your students to experience enrichment and achieve excellence in everything they do. No matter if they need to practise more at Maths or could benefit from a skill boost through ball games, we’re here to help you champion education to your students.

Our services are designed to help kids at all Key Stages, too.

How We Helped a Manchester School Just Like Yours

St Mary’s CE Primary Moss Side was looking to renew its outside space by cleaning up its outdated playground and adding in a host of games and activities for its Reception class. In enlisting our help, the school created a more engaging and educational environment for its youngest pupils.
