In 1995, the school moved into its award-winning, purpose-built premises at 15 Eton Avenue, designed by Allies and Morrison. While leaving behind its original Victorian home, it carried forward its legacy of warmth and community. Thoughtfully planned around a welcoming central stair hall, classrooms extend to the rear for focused learning, while vibrant shared spaces – the hall, dining room, and science and art rooms – face the street, creating a striking, varied façade that blends with the charming late nineteenth-century houses nearby. Built primarily from rich red brick and accented with crisp white-rendered panels, the architecture balances form and function, marking a place where tradition meets innovation and pupils thrive.
Many of our classrooms are bright, airy, and recently renovated to provide flexible learning environments that inspire. With whiteboard walls for collaborative work, these spaces are designed to empower pupils to learn independently and in small groups, encouraging teamwork and problem-solving.
The building won the following awards: RIBA Award 1996, Civic Trust Award 1996, The Royal Fine Art Commission Trust Building of the Year Award 1996.
