Inner Leeds secondary school

Watson Batty Architects acted as Architect, Lead Consultant and Interior Designer on this 3-storey, 1200 place secondary school along with a stand-alone 4 court sports hall. Leeds City Council proposed to build the school to part fill a shortfall of 13.75 forms of entry across the Central, Inner East, Inner North and Temple areas of the city.

The central vision for the development of the site was to provide a high-quality secondary school along with associated sports and landscape facilities which benefits and serves future generations of children from the local area as well as providing valuable community resources. A key driver for LCC in the design of the school was to maximise the use of the new facilities by the local community. In line with this consideration, a separate and standalone sports hall building was constructed which contains changing facilities and an activity studio as well as community storage.
