A major loss event in schools can have catastrophic effects on a child’s life chances. Time lost from education just can’t be caught up. Therefore it’s the DFA mantra when we are involved in school claims ‘to get bums back on seats!!’. We do everything we can to rapidly establish the cause of the problem, then the extent and severity of the damage caused before instituting a fast track recovery plan. Working with loss adjusters and claims staff we assemble a team of specialist contractors including builders, M&E specialists, temporary access providers etc then agree the action plan and make things happen to get the kids back in classrooms as soon as humanly possible. This is something we are really good at doing as evidenced by the testimonials we get - please have a look at this one.
'Having Davis French [& associates] involved and looking into the problem for us was a huge relief'
Working with schools to get them back to pre-incident condition as quickly and effectively as possible, is perhaps the most gratifying part of our job.
Ensuring minimal lost school days and allowing school staff to focus on education rather than handling a claim and then hearing feedback like this about Timothy French in particular is an absolute pleasure.

Yellowstone Schools is a place where students thrive and grow, a school built to give students "choice-filled lives." It has been an honor to be part of Yellowstone's story and to design their new upper school. We absolutely cannot wait to see what the class of 2027 accomplishes when they go out into the world with their Yellowstone diplomas! Watch this video for more about Yellowstone's mission, growth, and impact. #kirkseyprojects#kirkseydesign
Our Prep based Forest School continues to be a valuable setting and resource for our pupils and their learning throughout the Autumn and Spring terms.
No matter the weather, the children are engaged and enthusiastic about their time outdoors. Sessions for all Prep year groups are led by Mrs Hydes, our passionate and hugely knowledgeable Forest School Co-ordinator.
One of the most challenging projects that we have done till now are the 4 Senior Secondary Schools - Design to withstand the difficult terrain and weather of the Hills. Attention to the use of material helped in ensuring that they remain low cost :)

Its official, our school estates are in disrepair. Panorama thinks so too!
Who’s watched Panorama’s ‘Britain’s Crumbling Schools’? Within the first 20 seconds we hear from a Headteacher who said “everyday I come in, there’s a new problem”. The eye-opening documentary shines a light on the challenges faced by our education system. From dilapidated buildings and outdated facilities to teachers and support staff at the end of their tether, it’s clear the structural and systematic issues within our schools are having a tangible impact on the learning experience of our children. What’s more, there seems to be a stark disparity in infrastructure between schools in different regions with funding issues and bureaucratic hurdles leading to an education landscape where some schools are left to crumble while others thrive.
And it’s not just the students who are suffering. Educators are experiencing unprecedented levels of burn out and stress. With limited resources and outdated facilities, they’re finding themselves grappling with insufficient materials, inadequate technology and classroom spaces that are anything but conducive to effective education. And with a steady influx of passionate and dedicated educators needed to shape the future of education, this is extremely worrying.
At RAD, we are passionate about enhancing the student and teacher experience. If you have an issue with your estate, whether it’s beyond repair or curriculum changes mean you need to update spaces, contact us for a free consultation. We can deliver a full turnkey solution, or simply plug the gaps.
