Grindon Hall Christian School
Increasing pupil numbers demanded a new, coherent accommodation block in addition to existing facilities at Grindon Hall.
Classrooms, a multi-purpose hall, kitchen, music room and changing facilities in a part single storey part two storey L-shaped block format meet the needs of this growing school while reorganisation of the existing campus brought the whole project together.

The ‘stable block’ is a standalone 6th form centre; the main building houses the secondary age pupils and the 14 new classrooms within the new build element accommodate the primary cohort of pupils.
In addition to the classrooms, the new building provides a multi-purpose hall, a kitchen, music classroom and changing facilities. Reorganisation of the existing campus included removal of temporary accommodation and some non-original modifications and extensions to the existing historic building. The stable block is retained and redefined within the new hub configuration.
The new building nestles in among the existing complex to define a series of external walkways and play areas corresponding to the different teaching zones. Landscaping is key in defining the spaces between the new and existing buildings to encourage outside learning and interaction while providing a clear organisational structure to the campus-style hub.
The new buildings are clad externally in a combination of natural cedar cladding and through coloured render.
