The extension and redevelopment of a Grade II listed London Board School on the 'Heritage at Risk' register, an early example of the radical 19th century model established by ER Robson.

Southwark Park Primary School was a popular inner city primary school that needed to expand beyond the constraints of its historically significant but rundown buildings. We were appointed by Southwark Council’s local education partnership to increase the area of the school with new extensions and redevelop the existing fabric to create a new harmonious whole. Originally built in the 1870’s and extended in the 1890’s and 1910, the new work comprehensively integrates with and extends the retained fabric, continuing an evolution of masonry construction and detailing across the site.

The school accommodation has expanded from 1.5 to 2 forms of entry with a 50 place nursery, providing a bespoke suite of educational spaces which suit the creative ethos of the school and maximize the potential of the listed fabric.
