For Wolverley CE Secondary School and Sixth Form, crafting a space that sparks active learning and boosts the overall student experience was top of the priority list. With a focus on enhancing their study and social space, the school set out to create a learning environment to bring their vision to life.
At Forward Furniture, our mission was simple: turn Wolverley’s vision into reality by designing spaces that inspire. Who better to help shape that vision than the students themselves? The school’s existing areas needed a refresh to bring new life to the campus.
From the first consultation to the final clean-up, our team handled every detail, making the entire process a breeze. We know that redesigning your school can feel daunting, but we’re here to make it an effortless and enjoyable experience.
Our design journey kicked off with mood boards, ideas, and a whole lot of imagination! We collaborated closely with the students and Senior Leadership Team, diving into colour schemes, layouts, fabric swatches, finishes, and every little detail to make the space come alive. To bring the vision into focus, we created 3D visuals that offered a sneak peek of the transformation, allowing everyone to see the changes to come.
Our Forward Furniture team dove into four key areas within the school, reimagining layouts, and handpicking furniture to create inspiring spaces:
The common room isn’t just a place for independent learning – it’s a hub for students to unwind and recharge. We set out to create a space that’s as inviting as it is functional, blending modern design with collaborative workspaces and cozy seating to make it a go-to spot for both studying and socializing.
In the Sixth Form Common Room:
The old canteen was mismatched and uninviting, to give it a fresh look we took inspiration from industrial cafes. With a blend of tables, faux leather chairs, and a breakfast bar with eye-catching contrasting stools, we created an area to eat, chat, and hang out.
In the Student Canteen:
In the study zones, we transformed the space to support both independent and group study, with custom IT benches and comfy seating perfect for laptop and PC work. To make the most of the space, we extended the study area into the lobby, using matching furniture styles to tie everything together seamlessly.
In the Study Areas:
The classrooms needed an uplift to enhance learning and engagement. We upgraded the rooms with sleek new tables and chairs, giving students the perfect blend of comfort and style to keep them focused and inspired.
Forward Furniture took on the full installation during the summer holidays, making sure everything was ready in time for the new school year. The result? Thrilled students and staff who couldn’t wait to experience their revitalized spaces! By involving the students in the planning and design process, we created an environment that wasn’t just aesthetic but a place they felt connected to.
At Forward Furniture, we know schools. We understand the impact a thoughtfully designed space can have on learning and well-being, and we make your vision our priority.
