‘Ditch the Distraction’ Playground markings - Using spray paint and a stencil template we're able to come out and install 'ditch the distraction' street art at exit points of the school grounds.

There is not a charge to the schools for the artwork and installation. The artwork is not permanent and is designed to fade over time - examples can be found by following the link to the application form below.
