Dartmouth Academy
Devon, UK
project overview
A thoughtful creation of a ‘family’ of schools on one shared campus
Our new build, remodel and refurbishment of Dartmouth Academy delivers to the Devon town a fresh, modern academy facility for ages 2 through to 19. Designed to reflect the spectacular South Hams setting with timber clad barn structures, the academy is a pleasant, welcoming addition to the area.
The school’s layout is thoughtfully arranged into individual buildings for early years, primary school years and secondary students. Though separate, all three remain connected through large, open plan teaching barns.
The open plan spaces offer the opportunity for students from all year groups to gather in dedicated break out spaces. By having more contact with people from a wider age range, including staff, students benefit from greater confidence and social skills, which plays an important role in supporting their learning.
