1. Building a Discovery Centre
As a hub for our new activities, we have plans for a new building in the school grounds. Designed by local company OCR Architecture and built using sustainable design principles, this building will incorporate a light and adaptable learning/event space, a raised deck area overlooking our woods, kitchen, toilets, changing area, drying facilities for outdoor clothing, storage room, child-accessible open shelving for resources and high-tech audio and visual equipment. This inspirational, welcoming space will be fully equipped to support STEM and sustainability engagement for schools and community.
