The new extension at Thrussington Primary School provided pupils and staff with three additional classrooms, a library, ICT room, staff facilities, a reception area, a group space and other facilities.
The OFSTED-rated outstanding school, which previously had 75 students has now welcomed a further 30 students.
The challenge was to provide vastly improved, fit for purpose facilities, within a tight budget and on a live site in a conservation area, ready for the September intake.
The single storey building was cladded using timber and brick and the pitch roof with large overhangs was designed to add a modern twist to its traditional approach.
The sustainable and exciting learning space gave the school a 21st century learning environment, including purpose built early years toilet facilities, access to the re-modelled playground, and open, light learning spaces.
Safeguarding has vastly improved thanks to the new reception area. The school had an existing mobile classroom that had to be relocated to facilitate the building of the extension, whilst still being used during the construction phase.
