Increased pupil numbers
Institution: Riverside School
Location: Plymouth, Devon
How do you fit more people into the same space? A new intake of pupils meant this school had to provide more dining capacity, and quickly.
Versa’s Wall Pockets proved the ideal solution giving instant extra capacity and saving canteen staff time and effort. An added benefit was the freeing-up of the existing table storage cupboard which was quickly put to use as a PE store.
The Wall Pocket and Benchmark tables have been a big asset for us. They’ve increased the percentage of time that we can use the hall for other activities during the day as we don’t have to spend time setting up for lunch. The other big plus is that no staff are having to carry or set up heavy tables, which has increased staff morale and reduced the risk of injury, which had been an issue in the past.
