We are happy to announce that Buckingham Pools has received an award for the Abbey Court School project in the Best Swimming Pool in an Education Setting category at the UK Pool & Spa Awards this year.
We delivered the works at Abbey Court with a focus on delivering a flexible, personalised approach in order to meet the wide range of learning difficulties and individual needs, ensuring that all pupils maximise their progress and personal achievement in relation to their abilities.
Working closely with specialist pool designers Buckingham Pools, and tapping into their broad spectrum of experience, we developed a bespoke pool designed to meet the school’s needs. This includes two sets of entry steps to help control pool access traffic while allowing ample time to assist the different mobility levels. The multi-sensory pool is used for re-education and encouragement of normal movement, improved balance and coordination and the (re)introduction of walking techniques.
The pool complements the stimulating environment formed throughout the rest of Abbey Court School, featuring a water cannon, a variety of lighting and engaging projection effects.
Congratulations to Buckingham Pools , Abbey Court School, the Neilcott Construction Limited team and all involved.
