We Are A Company with over 55+ Years Experience
Metric Education is a family-owned business dedicated to supporting educational environments through high-quality, value-driven furniture and responsive service from every member of our team. This is our commitment to you—whether you’re furnishing a single classroom or transforming an entire campus with a full design and fit-out solution. Whatever your institution requires, Metric’s experienced team is here to guide you at every stage, ensuring your budgets and academic timelines are met with care and precision.
As fresh furniture ranges continually enter the market, Metric can guide you through the latest styles and colour palettes to help you create a welcoming, functional educational setting. We also offer coordinated solutions—matching furniture with an extensive selection of wall coverings, flooring, partitioning, and blinds—designed to support inspiring, cohesive learning spaces.
Metric’s advanced 3D CAD design systems empower you to visualise your new educational environment before implementation, ensuring every element aligns with your vision. From classrooms and reception areas to staff rooms, dining halls, and collaborative spaces, we help you shape functional, inspiring settings tailored to your institution’s needs.
Following a visit to your educational site and a detailed discussion of your needs, Metric will recommend tailored solutions to meet your objectives and budget. Our initial line drawings will present a clear layout of your new learning environment—highlighting classrooms, staff rooms, collaboration zones, dining spaces, and any other areas.
Following changes to legislation, local authority funded schools and academies can utilise lease agreements to fund their purchases. Previously unless private or further education, funding was difficult, as you were restricted to only being able to take on operating leases. The Department of Education has provided a pre-approved list of assets that schools are able to finance without consent of the Secretary of State. View our flyer for more details.

Looking to optimise teaching spaces? Struggling with storage overflow? Before considering the cost and disruption of relocating, explore our space planning and refurbishment solutions.

We will illustrate your new working environment optimising the design, furniture layout, use of floor space, and any other enhancements to make it work for you.
Our experienced team of Space Planning CAD designers will create detailed layout drawings that illustrate the most effective and inspiring use of your space, tailored to the unique needs of your students and staff. As part of the process, we develop mood boards to define colours, finishes, and furnishings that enhance the learning atmosphere, fit within your budget, and maximise available space.

Our approach ensures that each refurbishment supports both the planet and the people who use the space.

“Opening a new baby unit in the nursery can be daunting. However, working with Caroline [Izard] at Metric made it easier. Her knowledge of the furniture and equipment needed, alongside a visual mock-up of how the room would look, really helped. It stopped us from over-buying items because we had the precise measurements of the room.”
Ms Harvey Kalsi, Nursery Director - Cherry Tree Nurseries
“I have been dealing with Metric for the past 3 years. I have to say it's always such a nice experience dealing with you and your team. Everyone is always so friendly. We have always received a professional & prompt service. If you havent had something in stock that we need, you have managed somehow to provide an alternative or you have ordered the item on our behalf that has arrived really quickly. We have completed 2 large projects over the past 2 years where you have managed to supply and deliver on time the furniture needed to complete the handover of the project. All Metric staff have always been so understanding knowing at times there have been requests that we need to complete at such short notice. It is a great help that you are local to us. We are always looking at working with and supporting local businesses as best we can, and also your costs for furniture as a supplier are very competitive. We have been extremely pleased with the cost and quality of goods we have received to date. We look forward to continuing working with you. ”
