Just a few years ago REMPLOY were making great furniture for schools, libraries and other organisations………then sadly the government ‘pulled the plug’ and that was the end of the line for some great educational chairs.

However, the good news is that another UK firm has taken over production of the best of the Remploy chairs, the EN series. The EN series chairs are known for their superb build quality, ergonomic design and comfort……as well as having a FIFTEEN year warranty for some of the models.

The EN 50 IT chair is, in our opinion, one of the best IT chairs available. A gas lift mechanism adjusts seat height from 390 mm to 520 mm and the superb ‘flexi-back’ relieves back pressure and tension. Fitted with a five star base and a choice of castors, glides or pressure locking castors the EN 50 is not only well engineered but looks great in a choice of 15 attractive colours…. in schools, colleges and universities… AND it has a FIVE year warranty.

The EN 50 IT chair can be obtained from Central Educational Supplies Ltd.,

Further details can be found on the website:

It is one of those things that generally just happens: the school has a way of liaising with parents, and very quickly it becomes the natural and obvious way of doing things, continued without much change from year to year.

And yet several analyses have shown that there are currently four different models that schools in the UK use when liaising and dealing with the parents of their pupils and students.

More to the point, the approach that a school adopts to dealing with pupils and students can have quite a profound effect on the way parents respond to and support the aims and actions of the school.

In short, the support that a school gets from the parents is dependent on the way the school treats the parents in the first place.

The view that there are four different ways in which parents can be dealt with by schools, and that this affects the way parents co-operate with the school, was originally set out in a lecture by Tony Attwood at the University of East Anglia.  This lecture has now been reproduced in a brief summary paper, and this is currently available for download free of charge.
