The provision of a new school building containing a multi-purpose sports hall, two class bases and support accommodation. An existing staff block was also refurbished into a new school administration hub. Local reluctance/criticism was overcome by use of extensive public consultation to develop a design that eventually became well received in the community. Contractor’s access was extremely restricted and this was overcome by devising an alternative access which avoided the tight village road. A temporary bridge was created across a brook, coming through a neighbouring field. The result of this was an extremely organised and safe contractor’s compound. The school has been accredited as a ‘Green Flag School’ which is the highest Eco School grade. Sustainable features include rainwater harvesting to the new teaching block, passive ventilation to all class bases and the provision of a community classroom in an adjacent meadow area. The project received a highly commended LABC award for Building Quality and went on to win the West of England Education project of the year. It was also named winner of the RICS SW Region award for community benefit, was highly commended and awarded a badge of excellence by the British Council for School Environments and a Regional Finalist in the 2013 Civic Trust awards.
