St Luke’s is an Outstanding 1fe primary school lodged in a 1950s former secondary school building in the Isle of Dogs. Commissioned by the LDBS for submission to Tower Hamlets, our detailed Feasibility Study looks at adding an additional form of entry with the first Reception class arriving in September 2012. In consultation with the school our study tested ten distinct options for expansion to 2fe, all designed, costed and carefully phased. The favourite of these provides the best value. Giving the necessary balance of new build and refurbishment, it also allows St Luke’s to continue in the original school buildings, then grow into its new accommodation and landscape over six phases. In spring 2011 a delighted St Luke’s Primary School was chosen by Tower Hamlets for expansion in this way with SCABAL as the architects to completion.
