Large Non-Residential Scheme of the Year Award 2017 Finalist

The school’s interior is bright and airy, with roof lights and light wells plus internal glazed screens.

The design brief called for the latest technology, high sustainability, low energy use and low maintenance, long life materials.

Observation and discussion about the day to day working of the school and the aspirations of the teaching staff led to a design considered to be a whole team effort.

The building features balconies as external teaching areas for first floor classrooms and a place to view the playing fields. All the ground floor classrooms also open onto external teaching space.
