RIBA Award winner, 19 May 2011
The school is on a steeply sloping site and has a clear and legible plan which responds to a complicated and detailed brief. The classroom wings are arranged in six parallel blocks alongside the main building which is an indoor/outdoor space with dining hall and winter garden.
This works well: there are secluded spaces for the kids to congregate and a long open space for the school to assemble. Between each of the individually-coloured class blocks are a series of open spaces, which the ground floor classrooms open on to. This is a building where the sustainable credentials are inherent and straightforward and is rated BREEAM Excellent.
