We offer Daily Mile playground painting for schools in Herefordshire who are starting to get involved with this initiative.
Daily Mile playground painting creates a dedicated, visible track that encourages children to walk, jog or run for 15 minutes each day. At School Playground Painting Ltd, we install thermoplastic Daily Mile tracks tailored to your available space, whether it's a full loop or a compact zigzag layout.
These markings help schools promote fitness, focus and wellbeing through a simple, low-cost activity. Every design is bright, durable and slip-resistant, making it safe to use all year round.
The Daily Mile is a simple fitness initiative where children run, jog or walk for 15 minutes each day during school hours. It takes place outdoors in all weather and doesn’t require special equipment or kit.
The aim is to improve physical health, mental wellbeing and concentration through regular, low-pressure exercise. Most children complete around a mile each day, building stamina, focus and confidence over time.
Schools in Herefordshire often use thermoplastic playground markings to create a clear, dedicated route that keeps pupils engaged and makes tracking progress easy.
The average cost for painting a daily mile track is £1,500 - £5,000.
The costs of a painted Daily Mile track in Herefordshire can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the area, the complexity of the design, the materials used, and local labour costs.
