We designed Bristol Free School, an academy for 1,090 secondary age pupils, with an annual intake of 200 children. The scheme has transformed two redundant DEFRA office buildings into a dining hall and a dedicated teaching block. There is also a new state-of-the-art sports hall and drama dance studio, with athletic facilities and a grassed sports pitch completing a secure seven acre campus.

At the time of completion, the scheme was the largest free school in the UK.

We worked closely with all stakeholders to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive school in which academic success is encouraged alongside the development of individual flair, creativity, talent and personality.
