We believe

Good creative design does not need to be expensive and can improve teaching, learning and the wellbeing of people in school.
The school community is best placed to provide ideas to help shape their environment to their needs.
Design without involving the ‘client’ is wasteful.

Our experience

We are a small team and have spent the last decade working in the fields of education and design. We have worked with over 400 schools across England.

We are not architects, we are design educationalists. We do not structurally rebuild, we focus on refurbishing built environments, improving them through intelligent design solutions which service the needs of the school.

What it will cost?

Our aim is to help schools spend money on premises and facilities more wisely. We do this by providing a framework to think first and spend later. Ultimately we want to help schools save money by making the right choices, avoiding the installation of poor solutions.

School Creative do not have a set project cost as every project differs. We present our programme and our skills to you before negotiating a project fee. We are developing School Creative on a social enterprise model so that we can invest our fees into developing a programme whch can become sustainable and provide free advice and support.
