Tring Schools' New-Build Washroom Installation

Tring, Hertfordshire

Tring School’s £30 million development has now reached completion, opening its doors to students, staff and the wider community this month. The brand-new campus is designed to be one of the most sustainable school buildings in the country, featuring state-of-the-art laboratories, design and technology facilities, and a modern learning resource centre.

As part of this major school washroom refurbishment, TBS Amwell was appointed to deliver high-performance education washroom solutions designed for a modern, open-plan learning environment. The focus was on creating safe, durable and highly private school washrooms suitable for daily use by large numbers of students.

Client’s Brief – High-Privacy School Washrooms for an Open-Plan Design

The school required a new generation of school toilet cubicles that could provide maximum privacy while working within an open-plan washroom layout.

Key requirements included enhanced student privacy, robust construction suitable for heavy daily use, and compliance with Department for Education regulations. The facilities also needed to feel safe, comfortable and appropriate for a large, contemporary secondary school environment.

A key challenge was balancing openness and supervision with secure, private secondary school toilets that support student wellbeing.

Our Education Washroom Product Package

School Toilet Cubicles – Splash Privacy Range

To meet the brief, we supplied our Splash Privacy cubicle system with overpanelling.

Splash privacy is specially designed for environments where enhanced discretion is required, making it ideal for modern school washrooms and open-plan layouts.

Key privacy features include:

  • Narrow 5mm door and pilaster gaps for optimal coverage
  • Privacy strips to prevent visibility through partitions
  • Overpanel detailing to enhance seclusion in open-plan children’s washrooms
  • Robust Solid Grade Laminate construction for long-term durability

These features ensure users experience complete peace of mind, making Splash Privacy an excellent choice for modern secondary school toilets.

The system also includes a slide-operated indicator bolt with emergency release functionality, supporting safety requirements across all DfE complaints school environments.

Tring School selected bold, bright laminate colours to create engaging and welcoming school toilet cubicles that feel modern and student friendly.

PDQ Panel & Frame IPS Panels

To complement the cubicles, we installed our PDQ Panel & Frame IPS system.

Manufactured in Solid Grade Laminate, this system provides a durable and coordinated finish throughout the school bathroom areas while concealing services neatly.

Key benefits included:

  • Rapid installation due to pre-assembled metal frame construction
  • Panels delivered labelled and pre-hung for easy site distribution
  • Lockable top panels for added security
  • Matching laminate finishes to coordinate with cubicles

This made it a practical solution for large-scale school washroom installation projects where speed and reliability are essential.

The Outcome – Safe, Private and Modern School Toilets

The completed installation delivered high-quality school toilets designed specifically for privacy, safety and long-term durability.

Students now benefit from secure and comfortable children’s toilet cubicles that support confidence and wellbeing throughout the school day. The combination of Splash Privacy cubicles and PDQ IPS systems ensures a consistent, robust and easy to maintain washroom environment.

The bright colour scheme has also helped create engaging children’s washrooms that feel welcoming while maintaining the necessary level of privacy and security.
