The Forest School

The Forest School in Horsham is a high achieving secondary school for over 1100 boys aged between 11-16 years old. Over the past 5 years, The Forest School has consistently been the highest-performing boy’s school in West Sussex and amongst the highest-performing in Britain.

Site manager at the school Gary Wait was in charge of updating the year 7 school washrooms, ‘We needed toilets that are good quality and long-lasting.’ Gary chose to go with Bushboard Washrooms because ‘Bushboard’s product was the best on the market and the quotation was competitive.’

Gary chose Bushboard’s Quadro washroom and toilet cubicle range in SGL. Quadro is a universal solution ideal for most washroom areas, it has a distinctive quadrant foot and headrail delivering strength and style – ideal for a school washroom. For extra privacy Bushboard’s unique privacy skirting was added to the package. Made of durable aluminium, the skirting provides total privacy at floor level.

Gary chose Bushboard’s Ready Plumbed Module (RPM) washroom solution using SanCeram sanitaryware, Chartham wall-hung WCs and urinals, factory fitted to the duct panels. Daniel Kearsey from D. Kearsey Plumbing and Decorating Services fit the RPM systems at the school, ‘The RPM ducting and vanities literally just slotted together, they were so easy to fit and saved us a lot of time on site.’

The washrooms were designed in Bushboard’s Cobalt, Yellow Ochre, Fern and Chilli, fitting in with the school colours. Duct panels are in Bushboard’s Storm, partitions in Welsh Slate and flash gaps in Welsh Slate and Winter.

Gary is very happy with the new school toilet cubicles and with the service he received, ‘The Bushboard team were very helpful, everybody that has seen the new toilet block is very impressed with the quality and how it all looks. I would like to thank everybody at Bushboard for all the support during the refurbishment.’

Gary has already been in touch with Bushboard for the next phase of refurbishment at the school.
