Chew Magna Primary School

Playground Decking

Chew Magna Primary School is a small rural school located in the village of Chew Magna, near Bristol, England. The school serves children aged 4-11 from the surrounding area and provides a range of educational and extracurricular opportunities. The school prides itself on its strong community ethos and its commitment to providing a supportive and nurturing environment for all of its pupils. With a focus on developing key skills such as communication, teamwork, and critical thinking, Chew Magna Primary School aims to equip its pupils with the tools they need to succeed both academically and personally.

Chew Magna Primary School contacted the UK’s leading supplier of non-slip decking to help transform the look of its outdoor area. Opting for green-coloured Gripsure AquadeckTM, the new timber was placed over a flood plain to link new classrooms with the main school building.

Fitted and completed in Spring 2015, the colourful addition to the school’s outside space has been welcomed by excited pupils and teachers who are said to be very pleased with the result.

  • The timber was a fantastic addition to the school and had a variety of benefits. It’s a great surface, which copes well with a lot of traffic. It is also being well used as an outdoor learning area.

The school also commended Gripsure for providing a good quality and attractive product. And by using the Gripsure AquadeckTM board, which is available in a variety of vibrant colours, Chew Magna now benefits from a unique development in anti-slip decking which allows rainwater to drain through the board and back into the water course below.
