Here is a section of fencing including a lockable gate we recently installed for Seely Primary School in Sherwood. The work was carried out over the school holidays to remove a large hedge and securely close off the area beyond the fence from pupils.

School Railings Nottingham

School railings are an essential component of most educational institutions. They provide safety and security for students, staff, and visitors by creating boundaries and barriers. These railings help to prevent accidents and ensure that individuals stay within designated areas. Additionally, school railings can also serve as a means of organization, guiding students and visitors through specific pathways or entrances. They are typically made from durable metal ensuring longevity and resistance to wear and tear.

School railings are typically made from durable materials such as steel or aluminum. These materials are chosen for their strength and ability to withstand the daily wear and tear of a school environment.

Metal Fencing for Schools

Nottingham Fencing school mesh fencing

Metal fencing is a generic term that can also encompass metal railings; however, when discussed in the context of schools, this will often mean metal mesh fencing.

Mesh fencing will be found in school premises both as a boundary fence and often as a sports field fence to enclose a playing area. 

As boundary fencing, it is not as intimidating as palisade fencing, which would make the school seem more prison-like. Different types of mesh fencing include anti-climb, which has small gaps that prevent a grip for fingers to assist in scaling the wall. However, mesh fencing is a see-through barrier, so it is not an intimidating enclosure. 

As a pitch enclosure, it simply helps maintain the ball being used to stay within the pitch. Often an additional wooden board will be fitted along the bottom, inside of the fence, to prevent damage from harder balls such as hockey or cricket balls.

School Fencing Options

For nurseries and primary school playground and gardening area fences are important for school fencing because they provide a safe environment for students to play in. These types of fences are typically made from wood, or plastic materials and can range from a simple picket fence around the playground to more complex chain-link fences. They can also be used as an additional security feature by adding locks or other security devices to the access points

Boundary fencing enclosing the whole school will often utilise high bow fencing, vertical bar railings or mesh fencing all provide a reasonable balance between providing an obvious barrier to the grounds, which is a little tricky to scale, whilst not looking like a high security institute or prison. Typically high visibility through the fence rather than a solid fence option will be chosen, which is why a type of rail fencing will often be chosen for a school boundary.

Inside the school additional railings may be required to enclose play areas or provide additional safety barriers and handrail in certain locations.



The most popular type of panel and picket fence is wooden, however when budgets allow the switch to composite fence panels would be a good choice. These need little to no maintenance and stay looking good for well over 10 years. This allows maintenance resources and budgets to spent on other items rather than treating a wooden fence.

Frequently Asked School Fencing Questions:

  • Is school fencing different to any other fencing?

    Not really - the fence itself can be constructed from any material. That comes down to the decision of the school. As a school covers a large area there can be various fence requirements, especially from a nursery school to a secondary school or college. 

    School fencing is a generic term that signifies that it will be used in educational settings. The fencing can be made from metal, wood, or plastic/composite materials and is used to enclose school campuses, playgrounds, parking areas, and other outdoor areas. 

    It can also provide a barrier between buildings and students or visitors. School fencing can help to ensure the safety of students to prevent access to potential hazards - all these different scenarios will require different types of fencing.

  • What are the main types of school fencing?

    Metal railings are common for boundary fencing along with mesh fencing. Mesh fencing will also be used to enclose outdoor school sports astroturf pitches.

    Concrete fencing is also used for boundary areas, such as alongside a public footpath, and can also be used as a retaining wall within a school.

    Wooden or composite fencing is more commonly used within the grounds of a school to a section or an area where there is no need to be able to see beyond the fence, so it may block access to a hazardous area or a less aesthetic one.
