Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) Project
Week one:
We're delighted to share details of an exciting investment in our school sport facilities.
Work has begun on the refurbishment and extension of our Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA), which will provide pupils with an enhanced, modern sporting space designed to support a wide range of activities. I have attached plans to show the new facility.
The project includes:
- Construction of a new, extended sand-dressed multi-use games area to provide a playing area of 34.00 x 33.50m
- Removal of the existing worn polymeric surface, fencing, edgings and paving surrounds
- Installation of a new 15mm in-situ shock pad made from recycled car tyres
- A new 3m high 8/6/8 weldmesh perimeter fence with a 1.2m rebound panel for rebound sports (RAL 6005 Moss Green)
- Timber kickboards around the perimeter to support hockey use
- A high-performance Lano S-Tec Integration experience surface (12mm pile), tested to FH National, Gen 2 Multisport, EN15330 Tennis, AENA Netball and Sport England standards
- Two netball courts (yellow lines) and two tennis courts (white lines)
- A new dedicated macadam spectator area with a new macadam link path from the school
- A dedicated goal storage area
This significant upgrade will create a larger, safer and more versatile playing environment for our pupils, supporting hockey, netball, tennis and a range of multi-sport activities.
The project is scheduled to take approximately 10 weeks to complete and will be ready to use in the first week of May. The contractor will be self-contained in the far end of the car park adjacent to the tennis court area and will arrive before morning drop off and depart before afternoon pick up thereby keeping disruption to a minimum. We appreciate your understanding during this period of improvement and look forward to unveiling a fantastic new facility that will benefit pupils for many years to come.
