With Jim Knight (Minister of State for Schools and Learners) and Tim Byles (Chief Executive of Partnerships for Schools) both visiting the Future Learning Spaces created by Isis with RM, and built overnight (see main image) we're certainly leading the big debate - demonstrating the interdependence of furniture and ICT in creating inspiring spaces that truly support teaching and learning. It all left one visitor saying "This has been much more useful than getting lost in BETT. It has allowed my own thinking to be more creative, and, for once, I can look forward rather than playing 'catch up'. Well done. Brilliant!"
BETT 2009 exceeded all our expectations with us meeting hundreds of people involved in education - from teachers to consultants, architects to academy sponsors. The long awaited Newton chair was received enormously positively whilst students from a number of local schools had fantastic days sitting on them in Olympia 2.
