Size Mark Information
Size Mark Information
The design and selection of educational furniture play a crucial role in creating effective learning environments. One of the key standards that governs the dimensions and ergonomics of classroom furniture is the British Standard EN 1729. This standard provides guidelines for the sizing of tables and chairs used in educational settings, ensuring that they are appropriate for the age and physical stature of students.
Each size mark corresponds to a specific seat height and approximate child height range. The size mark on the chairs is then paired with the size mark on the tables to ensure they are the right size for each year group.
Size mark 3 chairs pair with size mark 3 tables
Size mark 4 chairs pair with size mark 4 tables
Size mark 5 chairs pair with size mark 5 tables
Size mark 6 chairs pair with size mark 6 tables
Note: Both size mark 4 and 5 can be used for year 6. We would recommend size mark 6 for those with taller children

The Therapeutic Classroom approach is part of our wider Therapeutic Schools approach. This book is the complete guide to everything Therapeutic schools and is the perfect introduction to our ethos.
The book
The Therapeutic School Approach offers teachers and school leaders a step-by-step guide to embedding a trauma-informed approach that is tangible, practical, and brings the underpinning science to life in a way that is relatable and relevant. Placing a keen focus on moving towards a more inclusive way of working, it advocates for a culture that puts wellbeing and mental health at the core of teaching and school life.
This whole school approach gives readers the tools needed to support children when they are dysregulated by reframing ‘difficult’ behaviour and focusing on emotional intelligence and self-regulation strategies to help children flourish in school and beyond. The book evidences the ‘why’ behind the approach, exploring childhood trauma, attachment theory and stress, and explaining how these factors are impacting children today. It then introduces the ‘how’, looking in detail at trauma-informed responses, behaviour policies, relationships, and the power of the environment. Chapters leave the reader with a wealth of practical strategies, as well a full understanding of key theory so they can champion trauma-informed approaches in their work.
With real life case studies and scenarios woven throughout, this empowering book challenges perspectives, raises awareness, and inspires the reader to re-evaluate the norm to make a true difference to the children in their care. It will be essential reading for primary school teachers, head teachers, SENCOs, and support staff who want to put children’s wellbeing at the core of their practice.
