DLS: ARCH were initially appointed by Berkeley Homes on this project to design a one-form entry primary school.

The scheme involved complex land negotiations between Berkeley Homes, WSCC, Horsham DC and the local parish councils and the local community. The scheme consisted of 5 classroom spaces, a main hall, a dual use community room, school administrative facilities and ancillary accommodation. The school needed to be as unobtrusive as possible within its semi-rural setting.

White rendered wall and a pale green roof, together with precise and simple lines ensure that the building looks fresh and contemporary without standing out in the environment.

You have designed an outstanding school for our pupils and created new facilities for our community which we are all very excited about. The whole package looks absolutely stunning.
