Knightsfield School

We have been working with Knightsfield School, a small middle and secondary school for deaf children, which enjoys a delightful open site with good rural views in the Green Belt. 

Our project includes a multi-use hall, junior classrooms and changing areas that will allow the school to expand the range of sports and arts subjects taught to the pupils and also provide a safe space for recreation in all weathers. The building is designed to provide excellent facilities which are suitable for use by adults and young people with a wide range of physical and emotional needs.

We have included generously proportioned flexible spaces with high acoustic standards and plenty of natural light and ventilation. Ceilings are underdrawn to maximise the feeling of light and space.

To minimise the impact on the Green Belt landscape the design includes a central double height hall with smaller spaces wrapped around it. A covered outside space overlooks the school grounds and landscape beyond. The building will availble for use by local sports and arts groups as well as groups linked to the wider deaf community
