这所学校位于伯明翰的第三大贫困地区-市中心的Alum Rock，那里有着以穆斯林为主的人口。近几年来，成绩有了很大的提高，从90年代末GCSE的4%或更多的A-C级学生上升到2011年的72%。

The school is situated in inner-city Alum Rock, the 3rd most deprived area of Birmingham with a predominantly Muslim population. Results have improved dramatically in recent years, going from 4% of pupils gaining five or more A-C grades at GCSE in the late 1990s to 72% in 2011.

该地块是一座建于六十年代以后的建筑物的拼贴图，大部分建筑物状况不佳，并遇到各种问题，包括连接不良、走廊拥挤不堪和缺乏日光。霍沃斯·汤普金斯(Haworth Tompkins)被选中，以850万英镑(每平方米1400 GB)的预算重建和振兴整个学校。

The site was a collage of buildings dating from the 1960s onwards, most of which were in poor condition and suffered a variety of problems including bad connections, overcrowded corridors and a lack of daylight. Haworth Tompkins were selected to rebuild and rejuvenate the entire school on a budget of £8.5 million, or £1400 per square metre.

Haworth Tompkins主任格雷厄姆·霍沃斯(Graham Haworth)说：“朴槿惠学校在很多方面都是英国学校的典型，有许多共同的问题。这个计划显示，透过与现有的楼宇进行合作、“清淤”、引入创造性的补充，以及对整体作出简单而周详的改善，我们便可以创造一个一流的学习环境，以反映学校所取得的学术成就。“

Graham Haworth, Director at Haworth Tompkins said: “Park View School was in many ways typical of schools in the UK and shared many common problems. This project demonstrates that by working with the existing building stock, ‘de-silting’ it, introducing creative additions, and making simple but thoughtful improvements to the whole, a first class learning environment can be created to reflect the academic excellence this school has achieved.”

一个新的循环脊柱连接了许多不同的元素，一个以前无法进入的庭院已经被落叶松覆盖的人行道改造，创造了一种隐蔽的、合而为一的氛围。这个新的“四方”是一个共享的设施，可以用来会面，祈祷，学习和吃饭。木材的选择是多层次的：它提供了一个吸引人的、健壮的、免维护的围护设施，它的有机特性与周围建筑的坚韧的都市风格形成了鲜明的对比。在内部，狭窄的走廊已经开放，形成了工作人员办公室所在的“社会学习区”。这些措施减少了拥堵，增加了被动的监督，并允许日光进入空间，此外，还创造了课堂以外的非正式学习空间。

A new circulation spine connects the many disparate elements and a previously inaccessible courtyard has been transformed by larch-clad covered walkways to create a sheltered, collegiate atmosphere. This new ‘Quad’ is a shared amenity that can be used to meet, pray, study and dine. The choice of timber is multi-layered: It provides an attractive, robust, maintenance free enclosure, and its organic nature contrasts with the tough urbanity of the surrounding buildings. Internally, the narrow corridors have been opened up creating breakout areas, or ‘social learning zones’, around which staff offices are located. These reduce congestion, increase passive supervision and allow daylight into the space, in addition to creating informal learning spaces outside of the classroom.
