Watch Simon Smith (Learning Environments Leader) at Sweyne Park School, Rayleigh, Essex. UK. describe the classroom acoustic experiences of the students and teachers during the Essex Study and then their recent experience with a new acoustically optimised classroom.

Listen to the experiences and differences in the acoustic comfort as the students and teachers experience them and note how acoustic conditions which go beyond the minimum acoustic standards are greatly appreciated by teachers and all students.
