St Bartholomew's School, Newbury
St Bartholomew's School has been in existence since 1466 and much of its history is still visible on site. Scott Brownrigg was appointed initially by West Berkshire Council to carry out feasibility studies and options appraisals. Scott Brownrigg's planning team managed the application process to ensure the support of officers and councillors. Permission was achieved in 13 weeks from submission.
The design has now progressed to Stage F working in partnership with contractors appointed through the IESE (SECE) Framework. The innovative design allows for a flexible design that can adapt over time. Each petal has been sized in order to allow for various structures to be overlaid such as faculty based or school within school. The insitu concrete frame and modular façade allows classroom sizes to change from 24 up to 150 in project based learning suites. Work commenced on site in March 2009.
