Back to School: Three New Learning Spaces Ready for September

Footprint Architect's concept design for the new educational building at Grove School. Showing specialised features to improve engagement

Three of our school projects are ready to welcome pupils for the new academic year this September. Each has been carefully designed in response to its unique setting and educational priorities – delivering inclusive and engaging environments that support wellbeing.

From purpose-built SEN facilities to additional classroom spaces, these projects embody our commitment to creating inspiring educational spaces for every learner.

As part of Wiltshire Council’s commitment to modular classroom replacement, The Grove Primary school expansion has:

Four new Key Stage 2 classrooms replace modular buildings, and a new SEN resource provision, consisting of two new classrooms, sensory group rooms and hygeine provisions.

Naturally ventilated chimneys incorporated into each classroom, as well as highly insulated building fabric, achieving net-carbon in operation, ensuring a healthy learning environment, prioritising student wellbeing.

The design ensures pupils of all abilities can learn together in an environment that is accessible and engaging.
