Choosing The Right Playground Markings for Your School

Choosing The Right Playground Markings for Your School

The playground allows children to stay active and engaged outside the classroom. Choosing the right playground markings for your school can have a significant impact on the children’s development as they develop critical skills.

Appropriate markings enhance your school’s aesthetic and stimulate young minds as they take a break from the classroom. UniPlay offers modern thermoplastic markings with interactive imagery that inspires play.

Which Playground Markings Are Right For Your School?

When choosing the right playground markings for your school, there are several factors to consider. For instance, what are your school’s values? Do the playground markings support your school theme and curriculum? How much space is available?

We offer expert support to help you choose playground markings that suit your unique requirements. Our DBS-checked team has helped many schools across the UK design and install new playground markings that are ideal for children of all ages.

Whether you choose traditional markings or bespoke themes that are unique to your school, we are here to help. Our team is also extensively experienced in installing playground markings on playgrounds of all sizes whether big or small.

Factors to Consider While Choosing The Right Playground Markings For Your School

There are several factors to consider while choosing playground markings. Some of these are:

School Needs

The most important factor to consider is the space available and your school’s specific needs. Some schools need traditional markings while others require specific markings that support their school curriculum.

UniPlay offers unique playground markings such as maths markings that are ideal for developing visualisation, progression, and gamification skills. We also offer phonics markings that help younger children learn how to read and write.

Age of The Children

Different age groups require different playground markings to support their curriculum. Early years learners benefit from visual playgrounds that feature fun mazes and educational games that help them with socialisation skills.

Junior and senior school children benefit from sports courts that encourage them to exercise and engage in physical play. We offer a variety of sports courts options including basketball, netball, tennis, hockey, football, and more.

Available Space

It is also important to consider the space available. Limited space often means a smaller playground. We offer a variety of playground markings ideal for smaller spaces including hopscotch, ideal for inspiring movement, and smaller number grids that support learning outside the classroom.

If your playground is larger, you can benefit from interactive markings such as fitness trails, Mile A Day tracks and roadways that inspire children of all ages to stay active. We can also install bespoke playground markings that match your school themes and colours.

School Curriculum

Another factor to consider is the school curriculum. Playground markings are best used to support learning outside the classroom. Installing playground markings that support the school curriculum encourages active play and makes learning fun and interactive.
