Intake Primary School, Doncaster

Brief

At Intake Primary, the focus is on fostering high aspirations for every child, celebrating their achievements, and recognising their successes. The school aims to cultivate a positive, engaging environment where everyone feels a strong sense of community and is encouraged and challenged to reach their full potential. The school’s library, however, was in need of a makeover to reflect these values and inspire students to spend more time exploring and reading.

Solution

FG Library & Learning partnered closely with Intake Primary School to redesign the library. After presenting an initial proposal and making several adjustments, the school embraced the final design. Key features of the design included a curved laminate section with a circular hideaway and an eye-catching archway, strategically placed to draw attention upon entering the library. The StoryWall incorporated shelves, two hideaway spaces, and decorative overhead panels, complemented by custom charging units.

Inspirational vinyl graphics with the motto “Dream it! Believe it! Achieve it!” were added to the walls, reinforcing the school’s motivating message. The library also now boasts tiered seating for a dedicated reading area, along with flexible reading nooks furnished with coral seating and beanbags. New blinds, carpets, and additional decor by the school harmonised with the new furniture, resulting in a vibrant, modern space for students to enjoy for years to come.
