PAIGNTON ACADEMY CASE STUDY
Paignton Academy required the resurfacing of its 3G pitch in 2025, replacing an ageing surface with a modern, high‑performance system capable of supporting intensive school and community use. The Academy needed a contractor who could manage the project with professionalism, clear communication and a strong focus on quality from the outset.
Adsum Sport and Play oversaw the full resurfacing process, beginning with the careful removal and responsible recycling of the old playing surface. The existing shock pad was retained and revitalised, preserving both performance characteristics and environmental efficiency. A new TigerTurf 3G surface was installed, complemented by new goals, kickboards and boot brushes to enhance the overall facility. Throughout the project, the Adsum team maintained proactive communication and delivered each stage efficiently and to a high standard.
"Following the recent 3G pitch resurfacing project at Paignton Academy, we would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to Adsum Sport and Play for their outstanding work from start to finish. From our very first meeting with Simon, it was clear that we were in capable hands. His professionalism, communication, and attention to detail gave us confidence throughout every stage of the project. The entire Adsum team were a pleasure to work with — proactive, efficient, and genuinely invested in delivering the highest quality result. The final finish is nothing short of fantastic — the pitch now looks and performs to an exceptional standard, and feedback from staff, students, and community users has been overwhelmingly positive."
The completed pitch has transformed the Academy’s sports provision, offering an exceptional playing surface that has been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback from staff, students and community users. The upgraded facility now performs to a consistently high level and provides a reliable, all‑weather environment for football and wider PE activities.
The Academy added that they would not hesitate to recommend Adsum Sport and Play for future sports surface projects, praising the team's professionalism, workmanship and exemplary customer care throughout the delivery of the scheme.
