Two storey secondary school building providing 23 new classrooms plus ancillary accommodation designed to meet the DfE’s latest output specification. The classrooms overlook the adjacent all-weather pitches and newly formed courtyard including rain gardens as part of the sustainable design strategy which provide educational and ecological benefit. The design provides an efficient, flexible and adaptable layout. The rhythm of the facade follows the windows which are defined to allow optimum light and ventilation. Brick piers with vertical brickwork detailing and bands of rain screen cladding break up the horizontal facade into repeated vertical units.
