Classroom Chairs

We understand that each school has a different set of requirements, and no two classrooms are the same. When it comes to choosing the right chairs for your school, there are numerous factors to consider: 

• Budget - Before you start to look for school chairs, have a think about how many you need alongside how much you have to spend. Budgetary constraints are a common problem within the UK education sectors and you’re not always going to be able to purchase the chairs that you want. Establish the minimum amount of chairs that you require, and work back from there. Above all, you need to ensure that the classroom seating that you purchase is functional. 
• Safety - Look around your classroom spaces and try and gauge the kinds of chairs that would present the minimal amount of risk to your staff and pupils. School furniture suppliers will be able to consult with you on the health and safety implications of various classroom seating solutions. Plan out where each chair is going to be installed and try to visualise any inherent risks. 
• Storage - Plastic chairs for children aren’t always going to be tucked under a desk when they’re not being used. Sometimes, you’re going to need your classroom’s floor space to be cleared for other activities. Have a think about how your chairs are going to be stacked, and where you’re going to store them when they’re not in use. 
• Materials - Classroom seating is available in broad range of materials – from polished MDF to maple and moulded plastic. Each material comes with a different price point and varying levels of durability.   
• Zoning - School chair zoning incorporates spatial design philosophies that improve classroom learning by focusing attention on the teacher and eliminating any unnecessary distractions. Comfortable, complementary seating plays a big part in contributing towards a productive learning environment.
