“Brick islands in a lead-colored sea… the board-schools… Lighthouses, my boy! Beacons of the future! Capsules with hundreds of bright little seeds in each, out of which will spring the wise, better England of the future.”1
Sherlock could well have been describing Parliament Hill School, which is a former Victorian Board school built in the late 19th century, and we are currently involved in its re-design, extension, and refurbishment. We are also working on its neighbour William Ellis school, which was built later in 1937, and we are delighted to be part of their continuing story.
