Hertswood Academy

Revamp Reception Area & Year 13 classroom

Hertswood Academy is a senior school with sixth form in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. Staff at the Academy wanted to revamp the reception area with updated office furniture and furnish the Year 13 room for a more flexible study environment.

HFS successfully managed the fit out of the Academy when it opened in 2019 and staff at the school were very happy with our professional service and delivery of the project. The school approached us again in 2022 to create a reception and large, open and flexible study space for Year 13.

Luan Wheeler, Account Manager sourced a supplier to visit the school, measure the reception area, render drawings, supply and install. She coordinated suppliers whilst working around the school, students and staff schedule to minimise disruption.

A cluster of stone oak top desks and workstation have modernised the reception area. The large classroom has now been converted with fresh tables and chairs suitable for the light and airy sixth form study area.

The school received regular updates and the project was finished in time for the new school term. Staff and students are delighted with the new furniture.

Our 6th form has been judged good by Ofsted and we wanted to continue to improve and invest in our 6th formers. We wanted a more ‘grown up’, workplace style environment for the Year 13 room and the new furniture has really helped to create this.
