Project Overview

Geometry in full scale

Sherborne Fields School in Coventry presented a demanding cladding brief: a bold, playful facade that could bring energy and identity to an educational building without compromising on durability or long-term performance.

The design called for an interlocking pattern of diagonal triangular panels across multiple elevations, each cut from full-size Trespa® Meteon sheets across six carefully selected decors. Performance Panels fabricated every panel in-house, delivering a complete, installation-ready system that brought the architect's vision precisely to life.

Designed to Stand Out. Built to Last.

Project Overview

Sherborne Fields School is a special educational needs school serving children and young people in Coventry. The new building required a facade that reflected the school's identity, vibrant, welcoming, and distinct from the institutional aesthetic that often characterises SEN provision. The design team chose to achieve this through a large-scale geometric pattern, using the cladding itself as the visual language of the building rather than relying on signage or applied decoration.

Our Capabilities

Cut.
Shaped.
Delivered.

Trespa® Meteon is one of the most capable facade materials available, but realising complex geometric designs requires more than sourcing the right board. It requires precision fabrication, material intelligence, and the capability to convert flat sheets into complex shapes at volume.

Performance Panels holds full in-house fabrication capability for Trespa® Meteon. Every panel for this project was cut, processed, and quality-checked at our facility before being delivered ready for direct installation. No secondary fabricator, no lead-time uncertainty, no compromises on tolerances.

01
Precision Cutting
01
All panels are cut to exact specification using CNC routing technology, achieving consistent tolerances across every triangle and shaped element, essential when hundreds of cut pieces must align perfectly on site.
02
Complex Shape Fabrication
Panels are labelled, packaged by elevation, and delivered directly to site. This reduces installer handling time and removes the risk of confusion or damage during fixing, a simple detail that makes a meaningful difference on a project of this complexity.
03
Delivery-Ready Output
The diagonal triangular pattern at Sherborne Fields required each panel to be individually fabricated from full-size sheets. Our team managed nesting, cutting sequences, and yield optimisation across all six decors simultaneously, ensuring nothing went to waste and every piece landed in the right elevation.
