The school in Ashbourne has a brand-new sports pitch, and it’s already changed how the yard feels. What was once just open ground is now a defined playing area with colour, structure and plenty of purpose. The main pitch is finished in bright green artificial grass, with crisp white line and goal markings built into the surface. The markings make it clear where games begin and end, giving pupils a proper space for football, PE drills and other activities. It looks sharp, and it’s designed to last. Around the edge of the pitch is a two-lane border in red and blue artificial grass.

This detail does more than frame the surface. It doubles as a track, so pupils can use it for warm-ups, laps in PE, or even a quick walk with friends at lunchtime. It’s a clever way of making the pitch multifunctional and encouraging more movement throughout the day. The colour combination makes a big visual impact too. The red and blue pop against the green, giving the whole space a vibrant edge. It’s eye-catching and fun, while still being practical and easy to use.
