Kevin McElroy, Operations Director at ISG, said that indoor spaces for the school would been arranged over two storeys, allowing for the most efficient building shape, while maintaining a compact footprint and as much external space as possible.

The classrooms are split over both floors, with ground floor classrooms also providing direct access to outdoor learning spaces.

Externally, the landscape will function as an extension to the school buildings, offering teaching and study spaces as well as areas for sport, play, socialising, relaxation and reflection.
