Schools & Trusts
Creative, collaborative educational spaces aligned to your values.
Breath life and character into your school buildings. We work with senior leadership, staff and students to identify opportunities for co-design, deliver workshops and design programs that capture your ideas, develop interior fit-out schemes and deliver bespoke joinery that makes your spaces work seamlessly.
Co-design in schools offers an opportunity to demonstrate democratic approaches to learning, and involving students and staff in decision-making about your spaces is highly visual and tangible.
Our experience across a spectrum of schools helps inform a uniquely sensory, spatial and hands-on way of working collaboratively with students, staff and families, as well as wider design professionals and contractors to fit out new and existing school buildings.
We know what it takes to deliver great school and trust projects
Some of our latest school and trust projects
Nicholas Chamberlaine School
A cornerstone of Griffin School Trust’s strategy to broaden horizons and aspirations for their students is to make their schools approachable and orientated towards their community. At their largest secondary schools this is significantly hindered by having buildings either owned and managed by large corporate landlords or provided ‘to specification’ by national government
Welling School
Welling School has a long history of high quality arts publications featuring the work of its students and staff. However the school reception space failed to showcase this to visitors or celebrate it themselves and had the school management stumped. Through a creative, school wide process we worked with students to develop designs for a new display trolley, and after multiple iterations of design, KS3 students then assisted in building and curating the trolley before launching it in the new space.
Sorrell Foundation
As part of their permanent exhibition at Somerset House the Sorrell Foundation commissioned a Materials Trolley to bring 100s of young people's thinking to life when creating visual briefs for their new school buildings. The trolly contains over 50 material samples as well as featuring a range of construction techniques throughout is own assembly.
