Leesons Primary School Expansion
St Paul’s Cray
At Leesons Primary School, we combined modular and traditional construction methodologies to maximise efficiency and create a low slung inexpensive extension which provides a bright and airy environment for teaching and learning.
Location: St Paul's Cray
Client: London Borough of Bromley
Project Value: £3.8m
Status: Complete
Specialisation: MMC
The Leesons Primary School project extends the School to enable it to expand from 1 Form of Entry to 2 Forms of Entry, as well as reorganises the existing school to create a new nursery and improve the school entrance and administration areas.
Inspired by its natural surroundings, the new single storey extension is timber clad and has a sedum roof. The mass of the building has been broken up through manipulation of the layout and volumes, creating a feature of the central corridor which lit from above by rooflights.
An external seating area has been created overlooking the playing field to be used as during break times and as an informal teaching to create an enjoyable outdoor environment for pupils and teachers alike.
