“…honesty, trust, respect, welcoming, kindness and resilience: these values are embedded in our school culture and are noticed by visitors who comment on the ethos and feeling of community which has been created in such a short time.”

Bloxham Grove Academy

Working in partnership with Galliford Try, with the Gallery Trust and the Department for Education, our design and specification approach placed the user experience at the centre of every decision. Opened in January 2024, the Academy offers a calm, considered learning environment tailored to the unique needs of its students and staff.

From the outset, we worked closely with stakeholders including parents, SEN specialists, and educators to ensure every FF&E element – from soft seating and storage to specialist sensory furniture – was carefully selected to enhance learning and well-being. The design supports communication, comfort, and routine and inclusive spatial layouts promoting independence and confidence.

Bloxham Grove Academy has since been recognised for its outstanding delivery and inclusive ethos, winning awards from Constructing Excellence South East and achieving top marks from the Considerate Constructors Scheme. The project also generated over £800,000 in Social and Local Economic Value (SLEV), underscoring the wider impact of thoughtful design.

Apteriors’ involvement reflects our commitment to environments that empower every learner – and our passion for designing spaces that truly make a difference.
