The design

To create a child-centred learning environment that inspires, motivates, and nurtures, while reflecting the building and landscape design to deliver a holistic solution.

To create a neurodiverse-friendly school environment, with flexible, sensory-sensitive interiors with appropriate lighting, good acoustics, and visual complexity with clear wayfinding and flexible support spaces and quiet zones, natural and neutral material and colour palettes, ensuring the space effectively supports a wide range of needs.

To embody the school’s ethos and aspirations, fostering a sense of belonging and ownership within the school and wider community.

Library sneak peak

The school library is at the heart of the school and is an integrated part of the teaching and learning process providing information and support for curriculum work as well as reading for pleasure.

The interior design aspiration for the Library is to create an exciting, fun, bright and welcoming interior, which provides for all the aspects of library use and meets the requirements of the school and other users.

Designs are indicative and may change.
