Paddington Academy is a high-performing secondary school in Westminster, part of the United Learning Trust — one of the largest multi-academy trusts in the UK.

The school has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted (2023) and consistently delivers strong academic outcomes, with students achieving well above average progress nationally.

As part of ongoing investment into facilities, the academy identified the need to upgrade its existing student changing and shower areas to better support accessibility, dignity, and personal care requirements.

This was delivered as a turnkey project, involving the full strip-out and redevelopment of the existing space.

Works included:
→ Removal of existing student changing and shower facilities
→ Preparation of floors, walls and ceilings
→ Installation of a fully compliant, purpose-built hygiene room

The aim was to create a modern, accessible space that supports both students and staff, while aligning with best practice in SEND and inclusive design.

The new facility provides:

→ Safe, dignified personal care for students
→ Reduced manual handling risks for staff
→ Improved accessibility within the school environment
→ A dedicated, purpose-built hygiene space

For the academy, this represents:

→ Investment in inclusive infrastructure
→ Improved support for students with additional needs
→ Future-ready facilities aligned with best practice

The installation at Paddington Academy demonstrates how upgrading existing facilities into a fully designed hygiene room can significantly improve both care delivery and the overall student experience.

By combining specialist equipment with a fully refurbished environment, the school now benefits from a space that prioritises safety, dignity and efficiency.
