Every school is different, which is why we offer a range of acoustic pod sizes and configurations to suit your available space and specific requirements. From compact corner pods designed to make the most of underused areas, to larger pods suitable for intervention sessions, wellbeing spaces and small group work, there is a solution for every learning environment.
We also provide fully bespoke acoustic pods, allowing schools to create custom spaces tailored to their pupils’ needs, available floor space, branding colours and intended use. Whether you’re looking for a quiet retreat, a dedicated SEND support area or a flexible learning space, our team can help design the ideal solution for your school.
Get in touchAcoustic pods are self-contained, sound-reducing spaces that provide a quieter environment within a busy school setting. They can be used for SEND support, intervention sessions, wellbeing spaces, focused learning, counselling, or simply as a calm retreat for pupils who need a break from classroom distractions.
Acoustic pods can help reduce sensory overload by minimising background noise and visual distractions. They provide a calm, controlled environment that can support pupils with autism, ADHD, SEMH needs, sensory processing differences, and other additional learning requirements.
Absolutely. Acoustic pods can be installed within classrooms, libraries, corridors, wellbeing areas, SEND departments, and communal learning spaces. Their flexible design allows schools to create quiet spaces without the need for major building work.
We offer a range of sizes, including compact corner pods, larger intervention pods, and bespoke solutions. Our team can help you choose the most suitable option based on your available space and intended use.
Yes. We offer a variety of colours, finishes, layouts, and optional features to ensure your acoustic pod complements your school environment and meets the needs of your pupils and staff.
Our acoustic pods are designed to be lightweight and portable compared to traditional room construction. Depending on the model, they can be relocated if your school’s requirements change in the future.
While they are not a direct replacement for a fully equipped sensory room, acoustic pods can provide an effective and cost-efficient alternative for creating calm spaces, quiet zones, and sensory-friendly environments within existing school buildings.
In most cases, acoustic pods installed inside an existing school building do not require planning permission. However, requirements can vary depending on the project, and our team can provide guidance during the planning process.
The best solution depends on your available space, intended use, number of users, and pupil needs. Our team can discuss your requirements and recommend the most suitable pod or bespoke design for your school environment.
“The pod has provided a crucial quiet and safe space in the classroom that is free from distraction… The change in both children has been profound. One parent recently caught the SENDCo at the end of the day to say his new safe space is working so well — he ran around the playground today!”
“With 29 years in the profession, including over 10 years as a SENDCo and almost 7 years as a Headteacher, I welcome the opportunity to express my heartfelt appreciation for the introduction of the acoustic pod, especially in the context of ongoing building works within our school.”
“I am genuinely astounded by the impact that the acoustic pod has had on our school community. It stands as a testament to our commitment to fostering an inclusive educational environment where every child can access the highest quality of learning.”
