Better Learning Environments

Hello! My name is Eddie Welham, founding partner of Education Design Partnership (EDP). I am an interior designer and university lecturer, and I am seriously passionate about creating better learning environments.


I share this passion with Paul Harrison (M&E), Michael Moran (SE), Ben Clarkson (QS), and Clive Welham (Architect). Having met through delivering school refurbishment projects, we learnt that the traditional method of procurement for schools to design, tender, and build had become overly difficult and expensive.



The Education Design Partnership are a multi-disciplinary design team who assist school and college leaders with new build and refurbishment projects using traditional procurement routes allowing projects to be competitively tendered.

Realising Potential

Our Abilities

Suitability, Affordability, and Sustainability

Learning spaces need to be designed for the student, teacher, cleaner, site manager, and financer.


Our starting point for designing learning spaces is to establish an optimum layout for classroom furniture, including the teaching wall, through discussions with staff and department leaders.



We then work collaboratively to ensure classroom environments optimise natural daylight, and climate is controlled through sustainable air conditioning strategies.

We have worked successfully with EDP on delivering smaller refurbishment projects before, and decided to work with them again in delivering a substantial new build extension and major internal reconfigurations of the existing school.
