A new teaching block with a distinctive folded roofline that gives the school a confident new street presence.

A rhythm of zinc-clad gables breaks down the scale of the building and draws daylight deep into the classrooms, with coloured window reveals adding character after dark.

Existing mature trees along the frontage were retained and new boundary planting softens the relationship between the school and the street.
