The new primary school is built to consolidate two existing local primary schools and will house 210 pupils. The project incorporates Energy Efficient elements such as: a sustainable drainage scheme, solar photovoltaic cells, evacuated tubes, natural ventilation, a balancing pond and grey water harvesting. A commercial grade kitchen is provided to feed the children onsite, and sports facilities include indoor/outdoor football, netball, tennis and badminton, along with retractable aparatus.
The classbases are provided with quiet pods, intended to separate disruptive children, and to provide a much quieter space for intricate learning needs. The school also provides an Art room, Food technology, a dance studio, Library and Information Technology room.
Inclusive design has been incorporated into the building to cater for children and staff with disabilities, with level access being provided throughout and hearing enhancement systems. Similarly, the building has been assessed under BB93 for Acoustics to provide the clarity required for teaching. |
