Building Location

Masterplan 1 form-entry primary school

1. L-shaped school site 2. Children’s play area 1 2

Enlarged site 2 form-entry primary school

Site enlarged to the north to accommodate greater pupil numbers Building moved away from confined corner

Proposed site layout 2 form-entry primary school

1 2 1. Main building entrance now directly faces the road 2. Deliveries and refuse to one side, well away from main entrance

Proposed site layout 2 form-entry primary school

4 3 3 1. Main building entrance now directly faces the road 2. Deliveries and refuse to one side, well away from main entrance 3. External classrooms now well away from residential neighbours 4. Improved connections between school and external play areas

Proposed site layout 2 form-entry primary school

5 6 1. Main building entrance now directly faces the road 2. Deliveries and refuse to one side, well away from main entrance 3. External classrooms now well away from residential neighbours 4. Improved connections between school and external play areas 5. Carpark now in discrete part of site, separate from pupil areas 6. Adjacent children’s play area no longer overshadowed
