We delivered a new school for Bowburn, comprising a 540 place primary school for years 1 to 6, three reception classes and 70 place nursery provision.
The overriding objectives was to improve the quality of educational accommodation for the pupils of the Bowburn area, to address the shortfall in pupil places, and to support the modern methods of learning envisage by us as set out in the ‘Every Child Matters’ agenda.
The design of the school was based on the Department of Education’s Priority School Building Programme standards. The benefits we looked to achieve were:
- exciting and challenging project to provide a first class learning facility for the community of Bowburn
- designed to support the delivery of a primary curriculum and to provide improvements in teaching and learning
- provide us with an outstanding school
Project insight
Our aim was to create a welcoming, modern site that we were proud to highlight as one of our flagship projects. The team project managed the external designer and contractor and facilitated the construction of a high-quality building within programme and budget.
