Capita Symonds is the only UK consultancy that can combine
expert education design development advice from experienced
educationalists with cutting-edge architecture, engineering, FM,
ICT, sport / leisure consultancy, and project management expertise
to enhance any education project or programme.
With an array of funding options, pedagogies,
programmes, local authorities and devolved governments the UK
education sector has never been more complex and diverse.
We provide strategic estates advice to ensure
that clients get the most out of their property assets, developing
new revenue streams that will form the cornerstone of an
organisation’s long-term goals in these austere times.
Capita Symonds has significant involvement
with the delivery of Free Schools, where we were Technical Advisor
for the first eight; Academies, where we have been party to the
delivery of over 60; and most recently UTCs where we are currently
developing alternative procurements routes. Our success in the
sector has stemmed from our highly successful record in the
Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme where we were
involved with over 12 programmes.
We are fully committed to improving outcomes
for all and fully understand and embrace the breadth of educational
requirements and aspirations of government, parents, teachers,
sponsors, promoters, local authorities, schools and the local
communities in which we work. Most importantly, we believe that we
can deliver the learning opportunities desired by the stakeholders
while understanding the need to produce educational facilities in
both a cost effective and time efficient manner.
Our educationalists, ICT consultants, project
managers and designers have developed a range of engagement tools
to ensure efficient and meaningful dialogue with head teachers /
principals, sponsors / promoters, children and young people,
parents, and local authority teams for each stage of the design
process to ensure that the education vision is translated into a
school which can deliver its objectives. This highly collaborative
approach helps deliver learning environments that will not only
operate effectively from day one, but also in 10, 15 and 25 years’
time.
