AccommodationWe are very proud of our new school building. It arcs around a number of mature trees, which form the focal point from the hall and resource area windows, and a large amphitheatre mirroring the curved building has been formed to the rear of the school, providing playing space that can also be used for performances.
All seven classrooms are located on the outside of the curve with glazed walls taking full advantage of the views to the Cotswolds. Each classroom also has its own terrace for outdoor teaching. Additionally, the foundation stage has an extended play area, underneath a canopy, which allows for all-weather outdoor learning. This includes a very popular play fort. Outside there are be informal play and social areas, slides, and a scooter play track. To provide a sustainable building, there is a green roof to reduce rainwater runoff, enhance site ecology and provide insulation, a ground source heat pump and low water use fittings and sustainable urban drainage systems.
