Apteriors worked alongside HLM Architects, who designed the building, and Reds10, who delivered the project via off-site construction to fit out the new spaces.

When working on the School’s SEND spaces, our designers took into consideration cognition and learning with special needs when proposing furniture, being mindful of behavioural and social needs, allowing sufficient space to learn, safe spaces to calm down and a broad spectrum of sensory rooms, where relevant.
