We wanted to create a science learning space, on a site adjacent to the nature garden and ponds. The Learning Escape were one of the few providers that offered the structure and type of building that we wanted, where we wanted it. There is always a sense of anticipation and excitement amongst the children taken into the classroom, partly because of its standalone status.
Why did you want to develop a separate learning space?
We asked Head Teacher Julie Mickleburgh to tell us about their building at New Chapter Primary
“We needed extra classroom space to enable us to develop the curriculum further and support the needs of the children at NC in areas such as pastoral support and reading. We also wanted to improve the working conditions for our staff.
We have around ten thousand school children a year visiting us, but had no dedicated teaching space to support our schools programme at the Garden. The Learning Escape appealed to us on many levels, from their eco credentials and fixed priced package, through to their extensive experience of designing buildings for school settings.
