Transforming spaces by creating a welcoming social area for St Bede’s School

Project background
As the student population at St Bede’s School continued to grow, it became clear that the existing outdoor furniture no longer met the needs of the school community. Traditional benches weren’t being used, with students preferring to gather and sit in groups. The school recognised an opportunity to transform an underused area into something more inviting and functional.

Why HAGS?
HAGS offered something different, outdoor seating solutions that encouraged social interaction while also enhancing the visual appeal of the space. The distinctive design of the chosen products helped the school reimagine an overlooked area into a destination for students and visitors alike. School Business Manager Vanessa Lygo-Baker praised Area Manager Jilly Saunders for her hands-on support in advising on layout and placement.

"Very quick response to our initial enquiry, and fast installation to fit in with our short timeline.  Delivery and installation were efficient. We are very pleased with the result." - School Business Manager
