Primary school for the Diocese of Durham

Wynyard Primary School is a 450 place school delivered for the Diocese of Durham and funded by the EFSA. The school forms part of a larger development extending the existing Wynyard estate creating new housing in the area. Working alongside ISG under a design and build contract, we developed the concept design for the ESFA producing a scheme that was ready to be delivered on site.

The design of the school is slightly unusual with the main entrance and approach to the building being on the top floor. The building was designed this way to work with the topography of the site and to minimise the visual impact the building has on the surrounding residential units.
