The lower and upper schools of a 420 pupil 2 Form Entry primary school were brought onto a single campus and into a brand new building and landscape. The landscape design was developed alongside a Visual Assessment and Management Plan. The design was developed to maximise outdoor play, social space, sports provision and improved biodiversity. The wildlife value was part of the BREEAM assessment, but was designed to be utilised as an educational resource within a variety of spaces maximising the use of land form and planting.
