Greenbank Primary School, in Rochdale, serves children from Early Years through to Year 6, and is committed to fostering confident, adventurous, community-minded children. The school aims to provide excellence in both learning opportunities and facilities.
F S Moult and Sons managed the multi-phase refurbishment project over four years, transforming all of the school’s washrooms. Sam Chadwick, the project manager, chose Bushboard Washrooms as the supplier for each phase, relying on their proven quality and service witnessed in previous projects.
The last two washrooms to be completed were the nursery toilets. Bushboard’s Profiles Kids toilet cubicles, in Lime Green and Slate Grey, were selected as the ideal solution for the schools requirements. These cubicles come in three door heights, compliant to Department for Education regulations, making them suitable for nursery washrooms up to year 6. This versatile range allowed Greenbank to maintain a consistent washroom design throughout the school while meeting privacy vs. supervision needs of different age groups. For the nursery toilets, the lowest door height was chosen, allowing staff to supervise while providing a level of privacy as the nursery toilet cubicles could be viewed through a door window from the classroom. The Profiles Kids toilet cubicles prioritise safety for younger children, with anti-finger trap hinges and emergency release locks to offer staff confidence in children using the facilities independently.
FS Moult and Sons opted for Bushboard’s pre-plumbed half height duct panels, equipped with their SanCeram sanitaryware and brassware. The pre-plumbed system meant the units arrived on site with sanitaryware and brassware pre-plumbed to IPS panels and pre-fitted to a galvanised steel frame. This halved the installation time compared to traditional methods, a vital advantage for completing the nursery washrooms over the summer break before the September school start.
Sam Chadwick also recommended Bushboard’s Solid Surface Washtrough for the nursery washroom based on positive experiences from previous projects, the school loved the idea. The Washtrough for Schools is especially suitable for nursery toilets, as it is manufactured from a solid surface material that can be heated and shaped as a single unit, reducing internal joints where dirt could collect. The smooth surface supports cleaning and helps prevent cross-contamination. Paired with Solid Grade Laminate underpanels, the washtrough is fully waterproof, providing durability against accidental spills and splashes.
The Washtrough for Schools, installed at a child-friendly depth of 400mm, was specifically designed for young children to wash their hands comfortable without the need for steps, reducing potential hazards. Nursery-friendly toggle taps, paired with a TMV valve to control water temperature, ensure safe and optimal handwashing for young users, reinforcing good hygiene habits at an early age.
Sam Chadwick praised the Bushboard team for their support throughout the project, from specification assistance to CAD support and prompt after-sales service. With the school washrooms now complete, Greenbank Primary School is very pleased with the installation by FS Moult and Sons and the high-quality nursery toilet cubicles and other washroom products provided by Bushboard.
