“School Stage transformed our main school hall into a modern performance area with up to date lighting and sound systems. Always professional and very experienced, the School Stage team worked closely with my team of contractors and site & IT teams to create an amazing stage and hall area. Would highly recommend the company.”
Peter Melville, School Business Director & Company Secretary, William Edwards School
“I have been very impressed by the quality of service given to St Catherine’s by School Stage, it has been very personal and professional. School Stage provided a quotation that was both comprehensive and good value. We have not been disappointed all elements of the contract have been delivered on time and to the specification required. The quality of our performances have been greatly enhanced by having the sound and lighting provided by School Stage.”
P M Slonecki, St Catherine's Catholic School For Girls
“The new sound system is great, it will also allow us flexibility of use. Being able to operate it from the back or the front of the hall will make a huge difference to all our productions. Year 6 used it in the first week for their class assembly and for the first time every child was able to participate with confidence that they would be heard at the back of the hall. Today the system will be used for our school disco and has already saved us the necessity for employing an outside DJ.”
Laura Allen, Deputy Head, Summerside Primary School
“I began talking to School Stage and straight away felt supported. Richard, the technician who came to school, was excellent, getting about his work very quickly. I was very pleased with the day’s outcome and would use School Stage for any future technical issues in the department. Top Job!!!”
Simon White, Head of Perfomring Arts, St Thomas the Apostle College
“The intuitive design reflects the needs of pupils with severe and profound learning difficulties and is particularly sensitive to pupils with autism and/or visual impairment. Many of our pupils have a high sensitivity to light and sound which can easily over stimulate them. Chris was able to factor this into the design. As a result Mandeville School has an integrated light and sound system that can create a calm or stimulating environment at the touch of a button. The iPad control makes it accessible and easy for staff to use and this also allows children to make choices that create an effect on the whole room. The design has many possibilities for creative learning to take place. The journey circle allows for streamed images so that we can transport the children to a different place and time. This is complimented by being able to change the colour and tone of the walls, the impact of which can be felt from the moment the children walk in the door. Spotlights allow focus not just for a performance but also as part of the lesson to highlight a particular area of learning. We are still discovering the many possibilities and fun that the light and sound system can bring. Chris and the team have demonstrated true commitment to the needs of school and to achieving the best possible outcomes for the children. They work with enthusiasm and passion and I would not hesitate to recommend them. ”
Denise Feasey , Head Teacher, Mandeville School (Special Needs)
“School Stage did a wonderful job upgrading and installing new stage equipment at our school for students with learning difficulties. Chris was very professional and responsive and truly added value to the project by demonstrating his very clear understanding of the challenges experienced by students with special needs. He made several very valuable recommendations which have definitely improved the usability of the resource for our students. School Stage were always on time, the project was completed within the timescale set and to a very high standard with a number of 'extras' included. The subsequent support and training provided has been very professional, well delivered and much appreciated, Chris has gone out of his way to respond to ad-hoc questions and requests quickly and efficiently. I have no hesitation in recommending School Stage.”
Sue Wheeler, Marketing Executive, Pield Heath House School
“School Stage have us invaluable advice on how to create a space that was versatile, flexible, and yet still met the very specific demands of a twenty-first century theatre classroom. They worked with our plans and gave insightful recommendations on lights, lighting desks, mobile rigs, handheld kit and curtains, all of which contributed to a refreshed, rejuvenated space. The training sessions on our new lighting desk were much enjoyed by our students and staff, and we're looking forward to the first student productions!”
