Wargrave House School is a residential school and specialist centre providing education and care services for children and young people with Autism.The school prides itself in providing a positive and nurturing environment in which pupils can develop their confidence and independence whilst becoming participatory members of society. Harrison Stringfellow have developed a strategy which rationalises the separate groups of teaching, therapy and residential spaces across the three age groups. Flexibile, multi-use spaces have also been explored to enable the school to adapt to changes in funding and student intake with practicalities such as car parking and safe student pick up/drop off areas considered alongside the wider approach to maximising the quality of space between the buildings. The three phase proposal aims to evolve Wargrave House School into a centre where the spaces in and between the buildings are the same high quality as the teaching and care provided.
