Located in North Yorkshire, Bedale High School has recently completed a major refurbishment as part of its wider improvement strategy. Committed to raising academic achievement and establishing itself among the highest-performing schools in the country, the school is investing significantly in its learning environment to better reflect these high standards.

As part of the project, the existing flooring was replaced to bring the interiors in line with the school’s modernisation goals. The previous surfaces had become worn and outdated, making them unsuitable for a high-traffic school environment.

A combination of carpet tiles from the Array and Broadrib ranges was installed throughout the site in bold purple and blue tones. Designed for durability in high-traffic areas, the flooring provides a hard-wearing, low-maintenance solution.

Installation was carried out by Excel Flooring during the school holidays, allowing the work to be completed efficiently without disrupting day-to-day operations. The colour scheme was aligned with the school’s corridor graphics, which feature influential figures and motivational messaging, creating a more focused and purposeful environment for students.

The result is a cleaner, more modern school interior that reflects Bedale High School’s ambitions. As part of its ongoing development programme, the refurbishment supports the creation of a disciplined, high-quality setting built around performance and progress.

After months of refurbishment and a recent rebrand, the Seaton Carew Community Hub, formerly known as Seaton Carew Library, reopened its door in April 2025. Originally opened in 1970, the venue now features a fresh new look, upgraded facilities, and an expanded range of activities and services designed to better serve the local community.

The transformation aimed to modernise outdated facilities, improve energy efficiency, and create a welcoming, flexible space that reflects the needs of today’s users, including families, students, and community groups. It forms part of a broader initiative to revitalise key public spaces across Hartlepool.

The £250,000 transformation project was led by Hartlepool Borough Council’s Consultancy Services Team, who also appointed the Council’s Construction Team to carry out the works. Once a tired and draughty building, the hub has been completely reimagined into a vibrant, multi-functional space. The new layout includes:

• A welcoming communal space
• An adult lending library
• A dedicated children’s area
• Public computers
• A modern meeting room

As part of the interior upgrade, Heckmondwike FB was proud to supply its durable and patterned Array carpet tiles in Lime. Known for their bold colour options and heavy-duty performance, the Array tiles introduced a bright, energising look that complements the revitalised space.

Green is often associated with nature, balance, and calm, qualities that help promote focus and relaxation, making it ideal for reading and study environments. Brighter shades like Lime also inject a sense of vibrancy, and modernity, creating a livelier, more engaging atmosphere. This is particularly effective in the children’s area, where the colour strongly appeals to younger visitors.

The tiles’ subtle striped lime accents blend seamlessly with furnishings such as bookcases, aligning with the overall interior design scheme. The carpet installation was expertly completed by Florcraft Professional Contract Flooring Specialists, ensuring a high-quality finish consistent with the rest of the transformation.

Previously outdated, and underutilised, the building has been transformed into a bright, inclusive, and functional space that now stands as a vital community asset. Since reopening, the hub has welcomed increased footfall and engagement from residents of all ages.

The updated layout and improved facilities now support a wide range of uses, from quiet study and digital access to children’s storytelling sessions and local meetings, firmly establishing the Seaton Carew Community Hub as a cornerstone of the community.
