Won in limited competition in 2003, this new secondary school for SEC sits on the site of the existing campus. Designed for minimal disruption, the existing school curriculum is able to continue uninterrupted whilst the new school is built over two phases. The design settles into a sloping site, offering terraced floorplans linked by internal and external courtyards and strong landscape treatment. This school represents an evolution in exemplar school design, first developed by the directors in two new schools in Jersey in the 1990’s.
