project overview

Blending modern education needs with a wildlife-friendly ethos

The school’s design embraces the beauty of its surroundings, blending seamlessly with the nature-friendly ethos of the Kingsbrook development.

design features

Shaping a vibrant and inspiring learning environment

The school has been thoughtfully designed as a high quality, energy-efficient building, guided by the Village 3 Design Code.

This code, inspired by the overarching Design Code approved during the outline planning stage, ensures that the school enhances the local character and makes a positive contribution to the public realm.

The school provides ample car parking for staff, including spaces for disabled users, minibuses and electric vehicles, all aligned with Council standards.

Dedicated cycle storage encourages sustainable travel, and an off-site drop-off area offers convenient and safe pupil arrivals.

Outdoor facilities include a diverse range of play areas, such as a grass playing pitch, trim trail, multi-use games area, soft and hard play spaces, a wildlife area and a dedicated forest school zone.

Our goal was to design a school that not only meets the practical needs of education but also creates a vibrant, inspiring environment that nurtures a love for learning.”
