Kinnarps furniture helps school makeover
Published:  14 October, 2008

As part of National School Environments Week, Kinnarps UK has donated a selection of items from its Educational Furniture range for a ‘makeover' of Southfield Primary School in the London Borough of Ealing. The makeover is one of a series of initiatives organised by the British Council for School Environments (BCSE) and is a pilot scheme for Ealing's Primary Capital Programme.

"This was more than simply donating furniture to a worthy cause, we are also demonstrating how a flexible range of well-designed furniture can enhance the educational environment," explained Marc Bird, marketing manager Kinnarps UK.

"Our modular educational furniture is designed to be highly re-configurable so that classroom layouts can be quickly and easily modified to suit the activity and age of the pupils using the space. It also allows the space to evolve in line with the school's activities," he continued.

Charlie Morris, headteacher said, "This has been a brilliant experience for the children - and the results are just amazing.  It shows how spaces can be changed and adapted to make them work better for teaching and learning.  Our thanks go to all those who gave freely of their time and resources to contribute to this wonderful project."
