A microcosm of surrounding Sandal, the school gives local children a ‘town’ of their very own – somewhere to look after, learn from and belong to. Complete with town hall, bell tower, library, nursery and allotments, it turns familiar landmarks into an uplifting stage set for learning and play.
In surrounding Sandal, the quiet back lanes between the red brick terraces become the playground for children’s imaginations. The school design replicates this relationship with ‘streets for kids’: easily supervised outdoor rooms where all classes and age groups can mix in the hustle and bustle of playtime.
