Headteacher Linda Sullivan recalls how opening the post one morning introduced her to a new concept in learning. “We were in the midst of planning a major refurbishment of our elderly library when a Classroom Lofts brochure landed on my desk. I could immediately see their potential to bring life to both the library and the classroom. We had a site visit which was useful and helped us towards The Warren for our Foundation Stage 1 class and a purpose designed Loft for the library with shelves and a stage area. It was love at first sight not only for the children whose faces lit up with smiles but also their teachers who suddenly found their available floor space effectively doubled”.

“Our classroom loft utilizes the floor space and breaks up the room allowing different parts to be used for different purposes. The children love the dark hiddey hole. We particularly like how the loft is bespoke to our needs. All staff we spoke to were very professional and accommodating.” M Primary School, Berkshire

“The best bit is the open nature allowing the classroom loft to be transformed into castles, theatres and shops. ” S Nursery, Bristol
