All widths have been developed with motorised desktops for standing or seated teaching. Designed and manufactured in-house, with a rapid turnaround time of 10-15 working days.

For staff that want to stand, especially those who have been sat teaching, marking and lecturing all day/week, the Principal provides them with the ability to adjust the desk to a height that is most comfortable for them – whether standing or seated. This is also beneficial for wheelchair users who need the desktop at a certain height.
