A new two form entry primary school with nursery provision. The scheme evolved through an extensive participatory design process, which involved the school staff, parents, school governors and Wolverhampton City Council. Presentations of the design in development were also made to the school children and the local community. The school is situated on a steeply sloping site. The design incorporates a split level plan which allows the building to step down the site in a cascade of roofs and terraces. The building was procured by a partnered contract in two phases. The first phase involved the construction of the new school building. The second phase comprised the demolition of an existing junior school and the construction of playground facilities. The school received the SCALA Award for ‘Civic Building of the Year’ in 2007, an RIBA Award in 2008 and a Civic Trust Award in 2009.
