Deliverables:
High specification external timber cladding to meet the rigorous Passivhaus requirements. Doorsets, ironmongery, internal cladding, FF&E.
SUMMARY:
The largest Passivhaus secondary school in the UK. Accommodating up to 1,275 students from age 11-18
In addition to world-class science accommodation, we have the space and facilities we need to excel in the arts and sport.
Our hall, which is also used as a performing arts space, is larger than the standard normally expected for schools. We also have an incredible Sport England quality sports hall.
An unexpected benefit from using so much wood in the construction is that the building is quiet and purposeful, even with over 800 students inside. Our state-of-the-art air circulation system means that CO2 levels are not permitted to rise to high levels during the day, keeping the classrooms fresh and the students wide awake and ready for learning!
