Saunders Architecture and Urban Design

About:

Founded in 1988, our 50-strong national practice of architects and urban designers offers a full design service; from concept through to delivery. The education team provides masterplanning, architectural and space planning services for schools and colleges.

We understand the importance of a school setting for effective learning and the need to develop sites to maximise the generation of income for the school. Often very small interventions can make a huge difference. As masterplanners and architects we work with schools to unlock opportunities for enterprise. We have a proven, step-by-step process, to guide clients through the design and construction process.

The launch of the Sports Chapter at Tonbridge School Centre in March was an important milestone – I look forward to networking with many colleagues around the country who run equally unique school sports centres. Sharing issues and opportunities while providing solutions to industry challenges, make this an exciting prospect.

Alex Lloyd, Manager, Tonbridge School Centre
We’ve been so fortunate to be able to host in-person events again at the SEA. Whilst our online offer is excellent, nothing beats meeting and chatting to colleagues in-person at a different school each time and seeing how someone else approaches things. I travel from South Devon every time but never regret making the effort.

Bob Panayides, Commercial Manager, Mount Kelly
Membership of the SEA has really supported me in my journey at Sherborne school. Just being able to pick up a phone and get some advice from an expert on a specific subject has been invaluable.

Rebecca Fallon, Events Manager, Sherborne School
I return to the office after every one of the SEA events that I attend and immediately refer to my notes, implementing something new or developmental in my department.

Hannah Dwyer, Head of Commercial, Cheltenham Ladies’ College
Active professional networking is vital to our commercial activities. The SEA brings people together and builds long-term relationships as well as a good level of trust and support over time. The biggest advantages of being a SEA member are to get fresh ideas, strengthen business connections, raise your profile in your own school environment, gain more knowledge and most importantly get advice and support.

Marina Kilaniotis, Head of Commercial, Highgate School.
In the short period of time that we have been a member of SEA its already proving invaluable. The courses are excellent and also very inspiring to see the potential our Enterprises has when listening to schools already very well established.

Kizzy Hazlewood, Events and Venue Officer, Kimbolton School
The challenges and opportunities around generating commercial income within a school setting are unique – and without the SEA, we wouldn’t have the same level of organised peer support to share experiences, explore new perspectives, exchange best practice, and to encourage one another. The SEA adds real value year-round.

Oliver Watkins, Co-Commercial Director, Alleyn's School
