Whether hosting drama performances, award ceremonies, class pictures or presentations, schools can benefit from having portable staging. These stages elevate the experience of plays, recitals, speeches and other events, whilst also allowing the hall area to be transformed for other purposes throughout the day. Unlike traditional ‘fixed’ staging, which can be difficult to set up and store, portable staging is quick and easy to assemble.

Choosing the portable staging for schools depends on the type of events that will be held. Complete stage packages are ideal for predictable productions, such as graduation ceremonies or speech days, while modular platform panels are better for events that require a range of different heights, such as choir performances.

Transforming Spaces: Stage Systems Reimagined

Another important consideration is how often the staging will be used. If it will be converted multiple times each week, choose a lightweight system that can be easily maneuvered by a single person. A flat-pack design can reduce shipping costs and also make it easier for children to carry the modules around the building safely.

Mainstage Ltd’s StackaStage school stages have been designed for safe, child-friendly use and a quick and simple assembly process. The wooden stages have rounded corners and smooth edges to prevent injuries and damage. They are also finished in a hardwearing anti-slip hexa-textured finish that is fine with occasional rainfall and easy to clean. They also feature a super-simple leg lock system that does not require tools and is stronger than steel. These features make StackaStage particularly robust and suitable for heavy-duty use in educational environments.
