Hapton Primary School – Classroom refurbishment

Inspirational classrooms, an exciting media suite and welcoming washrooms

Hapton Primary School in Burnley is home to an incredible team of dedicated staff who are deeply passionate about children and their education. The schools’ governors share this commitment, working tirelessly to ensure that every pupil at Hapton receives the highest quality education.

As part of Hapton Primary School’s ongoing efforts to enhance and modernise their facilities, the school approached Innova to provide a tailored design and detailed quote for an refurbishment project. The aim was to create functional, inspiring spaces that align with the school’s vision for continuous improvement and supports the needs of both students and staff.

The brief

As part of its commitment to embracing new technology, Hapton Primary School aimed to develop inspirational and interactive learning environments.
Their vision included state-of-the-art classrooms, a media suite, and a library designed to captivate young learners, encouraging a love for reading and building confidence in using IT and broadcasting tools.
In addition, the school recognised the importance of fostering good hygiene habits among its youngest pupils. To achieve this, they planned to create washroom facilities that were both engaging and child-friendly—spaces that felt welcoming and appealing to reception-age children, promoting regular use and healthy hand hygiene practices.

The solution

Innova Design Group carefully tailored their designs to meet the diverse needs of Hapton Primary School’s pupils, creating engaging and functional learning spaces that cater to various age groups.

Innovative Learning Spaces

For younger children, interactive teacher walls were installed with built-in pull-out steps, empowering even the smallest learners to actively participate in collaborative activities. These teacher walls also featured integrated storage to enhance classroom organisation, ensuring optimal use of teaching space.
Storage cupboards extended into the library, with sleek, ceiling-height units blending seamlessly into the design. Classrooms for the youngest pupils were bright and cheerful, with colorful, flexible furniture and vibrant décor. For older students, a more refined color palette of warm, harmonious tones created a mature and focused learning atmosphere.

Inspirational Media Suite and Library

The library and media suite were transformed into a dynamic hub with a space-age “rocket ship” theme. This design encouraged creativity and confidence as pupils explored radio, green screen, and TV technology. Modular, soft seating offered versatile spaces for group work, informal learning, and storytelling, making the environment both functional and inspiring.

“Innova helped us to create confident, happy children.”

Child-Friendly Washrooms

Recognising that young children can sometimes feel uneasy using school washrooms, Innova created a space designed to put them at ease. Toilet doors featured vibrant, age-appropriate designs incorporating animals and familiar imagery, making the environment inviting and relatable. The layout was thoughtfully arranged to ensure comfort and privacy for the children while allowing supervising staff to monitor discreetly.
To make handwashing more appealing, wash stations were equipped with blue LED lighting, which added a playful, futuristic touch that encouraged good hygiene habits. These enhancements successfully alleviated children’s fears, fostering a sense of ownership and pride in the space. The graphics and design uplifted the atmosphere, promoting both usability and care among the pupils.

A Space for Growth and Discovery

With newly designed classrooms, a cutting-edge media suite, and friendly, vibrant washrooms, Hapton Primary School now offers an environment that is colorful, creative, and confident. These spaces are empowering young learners to make discoveries, embrace new challenges, and grow with confidence every day.
