St Paulinus Primary Brand

new educational spaces & library

Our vision was to provide an environment that younger pupils would aspire to learn in by creating brand new education spaces. We repurposed and redesigned a number of under-utilized spaces into three learning resource areas and an impressive library. Herts FullStop supported the school throughout the whole project achieving an engaging and interactive environment to help aid teaching and learning.

Classroom range

A wide range of table and chair shapes and colours and sizes to choose from

Parents and visitors are continuously commenting on the calmness of the learning environments which is testament to the furniture project delivered by Herts FullStop.

We had received many positive recommendations from other schools referencing the professionalism in managing large and complex furniture projects.

Grace Cook

A brand new Primary & Nursery school fit out with furniture & resources

Grace Cook Primary & Nursery school opened in September 2022 in Stowmarket, Suffolk. Part of Orwell Multi Academy trust, the school initially opened for nursery, reception, year 1 and 2.

The school is aiming to expand gradually over the next few years to offer 210 Primary and 60 Nursery places. The school is named after Grace Cook (1877 – 1958), a pioneering astronomer and great role model from Stowmarket.

Our dedicated Account Manager provided a list of quotes and recommendations for the initial fit out which included a nursery room, 2 classrooms, office and staff room, dining area and library.

From preliminary discussions to regular meetings, the brief was revised and developed in line with the school’s needs.

We project managed the sourcing, delivery and installation of furniture on time and to budget.

The nursery has a role play kitchen, a dressing up unit, easels, wellie stand and trikes to encourage play indoors and outdoors. Classrooms are kitted out with tables, chairs and storage.

We have met all the schools needs in delivering furniture as well as resources from exercise books and stationery to cleaning and first-aid to ensure everything was ready for the new opening in September. We are now in discussions and developing plans for a brand new project.

We were delighted to attend the official opening of the school, with speeches thanking everyone involved, a delicious cake and a moving performance from the children singing “you’ve got a friend in me”.

All items were delivered on time and in a professional manner by Emma Mather, our Account Manager who ensured we were kept informed and updated on key milestone deadlines.

The process was very clear and transparent.

HFS took the stress out of the opening of a new school! We would not hesitate to use them again.

Library

Our Project Manager Robert helped us update our school furniture, making it a brighter and nicer environment for our pupils to learn whilst meeting our budget requirements.

We’re now also in line with EN1729 standards, with regards to sizing and posture of our chairs.

By creating innovative breakout spaces and modern contemporary designs, libraries can become inspiring places to learn

Our library space has been completely transformed and is now a space in which children’s love and passion for reading flourishes. Parents have mentioned what an incredible library we have and have asked for photos to show family and friends.
