Case study for Queens Hills Primary School
Queens Hills Primary School is only the second brand new Primary School in Norfolk in 30 years and offers purpose-built accommodation for 315 pupils (expandable to 350) aged between five and eleven. Built for NCC Children’s Services, as the centre of a new village, the single-storey school spans 2000 sq m, and includes nine key stage 2 and key stage 1 classrooms, as well as a nursery zone and a reception area.
Designed by Michael Spicer whilst a Principal at NPS, this project won a NAA Craftsmanship Award in the Category New Commercial Buildings completed in 2009. The Design Team, endeavoured to produce a building which enhances the educational experience of children. Stimulating and visually interesting teaching spaces, both inside and outside the classroom, and the inclusion of small learning environments and break-out space within the circulation areas for added flexibility, maximize the use of natural light, colour and space.
