这所学校主要是新建的，但现有的礼堂已被合并和改造，成为一个设计、技术和艺术中心。一个中央的“画廊”连接教学集群，体育大厅，和LRC，在当地扩大，为入口大厅，餐厅和展示艺术作品创造了广阔的空间。翅膀之间形成了丰富的娱乐和学习外部环境。一种约束但坚固的外部材料调色板，包括黄砖，穿孔青铜阳极化铝和未经处理的木材。

The school is predominantly new-build, but an existing hall has been incorporated and reinvented as a centre for design technology and art. A central ‘gallery’ links the teaching clusters, sports hall, and LRC, widening locally to create generous spaces for the entrance hall, dining and the display of artwork. Rich external environments for recreation and learning are formed between the wings. A restrained yet robust palette of external materials includes yellow stock brick, perforated bronze-anodized aluminium and untreated timber.

校长的愿望是在该国一个特别贫困的地区建立一所包容、欢迎和学术上雄心勃勃的学校。该设计是为了反映和支持学校的视觉艺术专业，同时提供各种特殊的学习和教学环境，无论是在建筑物内还是在地面上。新大楼还必须成为社区参与和凝聚力的催化剂，为当地人民提供更广泛的学习和娱乐(体育、展览等)的机会。

The Headteacher’s aspiration was for a school that would be inclusive, welcoming and academically ambitious in a particularly deprived part of the country. The design was to reflect and support the school’s visual arts specialism while providing a variety of exceptional environments for learning and teaching, both within the building and in the grounds. The new building was also required to be a catalyst for community involvement and cohesion, offering opportunities for local people both in terms of extended learning and recreation (sports, exhibitions etc.)
