Surrey school turns to Fordingbridge for turnkey MUGA canopy to transform school life

St Dominic’s is a highly regarded special school in Godalming, Surrey supporting students with a primary diagnosis of Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) or ASC (Autism Spectrum Condition).

They approached us with a clear goal: to design and install a new multi-use games area (MUGA) on a previously underused part of their site.

A key requirement was that the new MUGA be fully weatherproof, allowing for year-round use. They also wanted a complete ‘turnkey’ service – including groundworks, court surfaces, canopy, and lighting – all handled by one trusted provider.

The wow

Our specialist education team at Fordingbridge worked closely with the team at St Dominic’s to deliver the full package – from initial groundworks to final canopy installation – all completed in just a few weeks.

The result is a high-performance MUGA marked with court lines for football, tennis and basketball games – making it as flexible as it is fun. Covering it all is an impressive 32m x 17.5m barrel-vaulted MUGA canopy, meaning students can enjoy the space whatever the British weather has in store.

The canopy is clad in our signature Opal 60 fabric, allowing 60% of daylight to shine through, creating a naturally bright and uplifting environment to play in. And thanks to the integrated lighting we sourced and installed, playtime doesn’t need to step when the sun goes down.

It’s the complete turnkey solution the school was looking for – delivered with care, speed, and expertise.
