The specifications for grassed areas defines the type of machinery to be used and the height of cut the grass must be kept at. Here are a few examples: Fine turf areas: Cut grass using cylinder lawnmower fitted with not less than 5 blades, front and rear rollers and grass collection box. Arisings shall be collected and disposed of. The length of grass following cutting shall not be less than 15mm and not more than 25mm. Short grass areas: Cut using cylinder mowers, (gang, triple, pedestrian mowers), length of grass not less than 30mm and no more than 40mm. Medium grass areas: Cut grass using


rotary mowers or approved machine, mowing the grass to maintain a height of cut of not less than 70mm and not more than 90mm. Long grass areas: Cut grass cut using


appropriate machinery, with height of cut, after mowing, being 100mm.


Fine turf aeration: Using appropriate pedestrian operated slit/solid tines as ordered to effect a minimum penetration of 100mm. Fine turf scarifying: Using approved pedestrian operated machinery, all arisings to be collected and disposed of. Inspections of the playing surfaces and equipment are regularly undertaken. Line marking is generally carried out on a weekly basis, using string lines and a spray jet line marker. Stadia marking fluid is the preferred choice. Rugby and football pitches are mown using a Trimax Pegasus rotary mower. Rugby pitches are maintained at 70mm and football pitches at 40mm. Lines are mown in with a pedestrian mower and maintained at a height of 25mm. All pitches are aerated monthly between October and April at a minimum depth of 100mm at 100mm centres. They are also chain harrowed on a monthly basis.


The hockey pitches are cut to a height of 20mm and brushed prior to games. Grass tennis courts are box mown in


the growing season maintaining a height of cut between 5-10mm. They are aerated twice a year in the spring and autumn. Cricket outfields are cut using gang cylinder mowers to 25mm. Wicket preparation begins seven days before the match. On the morning of a match, or the last working day for weekend matches, the wickets get a further cut and roll before finally marking out the creases.


The main square has twelve strips and is made up with Surrey Loam. Once the school’s fixtures are completed, in July, all three squares are renovated with a programme of scarifying, topdressing and overseeding.
