Acoustic Panels for educational facilities - Street, Somerset.
Our team recently completed an acoustic enhancement project for a local Somerset school, designed to support children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). The goal was simple: to improve how students experience sound, focus attention, and manage emotions within their daily learning environment.
Children with SEN are often more sensitive to sound than their peers. In a typical classroom, everyday noises: chairs scraping, voices overlapping, doors closing, can quickly become overwhelming.Poor acoustic conditions amplify these sounds, leading to distraction, fatigue, or even sensory overload. For many learners, this can make participation and engagement significantly harder.
Recognising that acoustics are not just a comfort feature but a core aspect of accessibility, our team designed and implemented targeted improvements to reduce reverberation and control background noise.
Lets Discuss Your Next Project
Whether you're a developer, main contractor, architect, or private client, we'd love to collaborate on your next project. At ISS, we operate nationwide, offering acoustic solutions and commercial fit-outs that meet the highest standards. With our in-house team of skilled specialists, we ensure every aspect of the project is handled with precision, from design and manufacturing to installation.
Working beyond the baseline requirements of Building Bulletin 93 (BB93), we introduced tailored acoustic solutions to create a calmer, more focused learning environment.
The upgraded classroom now provides a more comfortable and inclusive space where all children, especially those with sensory sensitivities can thrive. Improved sound clarity supports better communication, emotional regulation, and engagement, ensuring that every student has the best possible opportunity to learn.
Good acoustics benefit everyone, but for children with SEN, they are essential. By designing to higher acoustic standards, schools can foster environments that truly support every learner’s potential.
