Providing Additional Classrooms for Carrington Junior School

Carrington Junior School, in High Wycombe, provides a fun, inclusive and ambitious teaching curriculum which enables children between the ages of 7 to 11 years old to achieve and succeed.

S Jones Modular Buildings worked with the school to create a custom-built modular building to provide additional classrooms and teaching space for pupils and teaching staff.

The Customer

Situated at the edge of Flackwell Heath village on the outskirts of High Wycombe, Carrington Junior School is a two-form entry junior school with an additional resource provision for eight autistic children. The school opened in 1960, and currently has 242 pupils on roll with 32 members of staff.

The school’s ethos is that children should be successful learners who enjoy education and, through this, will gain the essential skills to prepare them to be happy, healthy, confident individuals.

The Challenge

Carrington Junior School needed additional space to teach smaller groups of children who had fallen behind in their work following the Covid-19 pandemic. The school decided that an external classroom space was required to fulfil the needs of the students who needed additional educational support. The classroom space needed to be flexible in design so it could accommodate the changing needs of students each year.

Having worked with S Jones Modular Buildings before, Carrington Junior School appointed the modular team to deliver a solution that would create external classroom space for individual tutoring and smaller group lessons.

What Carrington Junior School Had to Say

“We did initially look at wooden structures for our new classrooms, however an external modular classroom was the better option for us as it had longevity and flexibility. After speaking to the modular team at S Jones, we decided a bespoke modular unit, which was designed for our exact requirements, would be the best option for our teaching space.

From designing the classrooms all the way to delivering them, the service we received from S Jones Containers has been brilliant. Andy has been extremely helpful and anything we’ve asked he’s been able to provide answers for, and we’re really pleased with the finished classrooms.”
