St. Bonaventure’s Primary
Bristol

Replacement 14 classroom primary school that incorporates an onsite pre-school to form a foundation stage unit including a sports hall and drama studio. The construction phase of this project was challenging with the new school built in phases allowing the existing school on the site to continue to operate.

The design uses forms which maximise the limited space available in the tight urban location. The classrooms are arranged around the perimeter of the site as a crescent, with each classroom overlooking the sunny playing area and school entrance. Sustainable technologies employed include rainwater harvesting.
