Green strategy has been adapted to reduce
the
carbon emissions to 60% of the notional
building emissions rate. The building is
almost completely naturally ventilated with
attenuation provided to the elevations which
face onto a busy road. All classrooms and
the school hall have been provided with
wind chimneys which passively ventilate
and provide through ventilation from the
faade openings and grilles. Environmental
performance is further enhanced by the use
of Biomass as the primary energy supply,
Agora running throughout the heart of the
school
The toilets pods between the classrooms are
brightly coloured to highlight entrance points and
to differentiate b/w classes
FEATURES OF THE SCHOOLS
DESIGN
1.Part of the primary capital programme, the design carefully
integrates an open and inviting building into a well-balanced
landscape proposal. Rhythm and symmetry has been kept in
mind.

2.The building envelope is extremely permeable to the exterior
environment and all classrooms have direct access to external
activity spaces.

3. The facades have a backdrop of white render and individual
elements highlighted with cladding of varying colours.

cladding
1. The classrooms on the edge of the building have been located
on the east and south facades to exploit better aspects within
the site.
2. All classrooms benefit from floor to ceiling glazed walls internally
and externally, which provide bright and open learning
spaces.
3. Internally the screens have adjustable louvers which allow the
teaching staff to vary the degree of visibility into each teaching
space.
4. This open and transparent arrangement allows both students
and staff to feel fully integrated with all other members of the
school community
Use of ample glass imparts openess and
transparency
