Project Details
Manchester Primary School recently embarked on a significant renovation project to create a modern and inspiring learning environment for its students. A key aspect of this renovation was the installation of a new ceiling system that could adapt to the school’s unique architectural features, including rooms with odd angles and a distinctive raked ceiling design.
The Challenge: Schools present unique challenges, requiring spaces that foster a harmonious learning environment amidst the energy of eager primary students. The new buildings at Manchester Primary School featured complex architectural elements, including numerous angles and an expansive room with a raked ceiling. Additionally, the ceiling system needed to be durable, easy to install, and capable of providing an excellent auditory experience to enhance the overall learning atmosphere.
An exciting feature and facility for use by the local community

The Solution: National Ceiling Systems provided the perfect solution with their Apex ceiling tiles and GT Ultimate Grid. These products were selected for their versatility, ease of installation, and superior aesthetic qualities.
Key Features:
- Apex Ceiling Tiles: These tiles offered a clean, modern look that complemented the school’s contemporary design. Their durability and acoustic properties were ideal for creating a quiet, conducive learning environment.
- GT Ultimate Grid: This grid system was chosen for its flexibility and strength, allowing it to accommodate the school’s unique architectural features. The GT Ultimate Grid’s ability to work seamlessly with the Apex ceiling tiles ensured a smooth and efficient installation process.
Installation Highlights:
- Adaptability: The GT Ultimate Grid system’s adaptability was crucial in managing the school’s various angles and the raked ceiling design. This flexibility allowed for a precise and secure fit of the Apex ceiling tiles, ensuring a cohesive and polished finish throughout the school.
- Impressive Aesthetics: The combination of Apex ceiling tiles and the GT Ultimate Grid created an impressive visual impact. The ceiling system not only enhanced the overall look of the classrooms but also provided a functional and durable solution that would stand the test of time.
The new build includes a open plan classroom block with STEM and art learning space. The upgrades also encompass a new school entry, reception and senior staff offices.
