A new sixth form building provides a learning and social space for students.

The challenge

A new sixth form building was required by the school to provide a crucial social and informal learning space along with dining facilities, a flexible auditorium and classrooms.

Our approach

We developed a stakeholder engagement plan that included initial community consultation early in the process where comments and concerns could be taken on-board. Later we held community information events tabling the developed plans ahead of making a planning application.

“I cannot praise Roberts Limbrick enough. They have provided creativity, whilst always being aware of the practicalities. I am very happy to recommend Roberts Limbrick to anyone”

Alywn Richards, Head Teacher, Cleeve Secondary School

The results

The transformative building has been designed to reflect the ethos of the school, delivering a more effective and engaging learning environment, using a glass façade to put the sixth form on display and create a sense of pride and aspiration for the rest of the school and the wider community.
