Pudsey Sixth Form College, Pudsey

The Pudsey Sixth Form College, a purpose-built £11.4 million facility in West Yorkshire, opened in September 2025, accommodating 600 students aged 16–18. Delivered in partnership with Luminate Education Group and three local secondary schools, the college strengthens post-16 education provision in the region. Constructed by Caddick Construction, the building prioritises sustainability, adaptability, and student wellbeing.

As part of this vision, Supacord carpet tiles were specified throughout teaching and circulation areas to provide a robust, low-maintenance flooring solution suitable for high-traffic educational spaces. A diverse palette of colours, including Steel Grey, Flint, Orange, Yellow, Onyx, Emerald, and Blue Moon, was used to support interior design, create zoned layouts, and aid navigation. At key entrances, Hippo entrance matting in Anthracite was installed to protect interiors from dirt and moisture.

Key benefits of the Supacord installation included:

• Class 33 Heavy Contract Rating for durability in high-traffic areas
• Acoustic performance to reduce noise transfer and support concentration
• Low maintenance for long-term cost efficiency
• Sustainability: made with recycled content and A+ BREEAM rated

Installation was carried out by Ryjock Flooring, working closely with the main contractor to ensure timely delivery, compliance with health and safety standards, and precise integration of entrance matting.

The completed flooring installation enhances the college environment by improving acoustics, defining functional zones, supporting sustainable objectives, and providing a durable, visually coherent foundation for learning. The project demonstrates how Supacord combines practical performance with design-led value to meet the demands of modern further education settings.
