During exams it is imperative that pupils are seated alone to neither cheat nor become distracted by their surroundings. It is also advisable due to the infrequency of exams that any desks used are portable and easy to store away when not in use. This premium folding exam desk addresses both of these issues without the underwhelming basic appearance of cheaper alternatives.DesignThe desks have been designed specifically for GCSE aged pupils with a height of 710mm. It is strongly advised to use chairs with a www.ypo.co.uk/products/furniture/seating/classroom-seating/classroom-polypropylene-chairs430mm seat height for optimal posture comfort and lumbar support during an exam and to remain compliant with BS EN 1729:2016.Each desk incorporates a pen groove to prevent stationery from rolling onto the floor and disturbing others whilst also signposting the front of the desk to assist staff when setting up. Alongside the pen groove the desks offer a generous surface area for exams that require additional resources or reading materials helping reduce the stress and anxiety caused by a cluttered disorganised workspace. Given that exams are already a stressful time for most students a suitable desk with such features is a must to not increase this further.A beech top slate frame and charcoal Duraform PU edges are used in the design for a striking professional look that will impress students and staff alike whilst also proving sufficiently hard-wearing for their purpose. The dark and attractive tone of the frame and edges also reduces the visibility of dirt and damage accumulated over time.ConstructionThese desks use a skid leg base to maximise stability and prevent moving or sliding on the floor when in use. This will prevent any loud and grating noises caused by the movement of alternative desks which in exam conditions can be highly distracting at a time where concentration is vital.
