A sixth form centre is often a high profile part of a campus and can have a positive impact on recruitment and retention of sixth form pupils. The design of these facilities offers a great opportunity to educate and inspire students about what high quality architecture can deliver.
We enjoy getting students involved in the process – through workshops, focus groups and tours – aiming to incorporate their ideas and preferences where possible. This involvement and participation can increase student commitment, student voice & confidence and active citizenship. In our experience, sixth form pupils respond positively to a high quality, more adult learning environment and treat new facilities with respect.
We have considerable experience designing sixth form libraries, study spaces, career centres, tutorial and meeting rooms, common rooms and café areas, as well as flexible seminar spaces, lecture theatres and outdoor social areas. We have created bespoke sixth form facilities at St Peter’s School, Tolworth Girls School and Guildford County School.
