Stockport Grammar School – Science Laboratory
Stockport Grammar: Firing the Enthusiasm of Tomorrow’s Scientists
Stockport Grammar School was founded in 1487 and is one of the oldest schools in the country. The buildings and grounds have seen almost continuous transformation over the years to ensure first class facilities for the 1400 pupils on roll.
As Stockport Grammar School marks its 100th anniversary at the Hallam site, the school planned to modernise one of its existing laboratories to align with the evolving demands of 21st-century education.
This initiative aimed to provide students with a cutting-edge learning environment, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and innovative design, fostering collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking

The brief
Stockport Grammar School widely recognised for its excellent reputation and dedicated staff committed to delivering exceptional education. However to further enhance student engagement and provide both teachers and pupils with modern facilities they deserve, an upgrade was necessary for one of the school’s older chemistry classrooms.
Recognising the importance of creating a space that meets the evolving demands of contemporary education, the school partnered with Innova to bring this vision to life.
Through close collaboration and a deep understanding of the needs of both students and teachers, Innova designed a state-of-the-art chemistry laboratory that integrates functionality, safety, and innovation.
The new state-of-the-art lab will ensure the quality of teaching and the students’ learning experience is enhanced.
The solution
The old lab has been completely overhauled and now features a ‘Wing’ layout, which supports a flexible environment for both theory and practical work. Every pupil faces the front of the room, the teacher can circulate freely, providing a more collaborative approach to learning.
The Chemistry lab has been reconfigured with the teacher positioned along the long wall, which shortens the lines of communication and improves classroom management. With services located on the front face of the units, the working space is optimised whilst gas and electric services are still readily accessible.
The new layout ensures students are able to switch quickly between practical and theory lessons.
