New Secondary School Brings Sustainable Learning Environment to North West London

The design and construction of a new five-form entry secondary school in North West London, England has been completed. BAM was appointed to deliver the scheme by the Department for Education under its National Education Framework.

North Brent School, part of the Wembley Multi-Academy Trust, will provide 1,150 places for pupils in years seven to 13, in a new state-of-the-art, sustainable school building, with an interlinked sixth-form block.

The new five-story school building provides spacious, modern classrooms equipped with the latest technology. The design maximizes the limited space available on a constrained urban site to provide a pupil-focused learning environment.

Learning facilities also include science laboratories, library, sports hall, main hall and sixth-form common room. The roof of the sixth-form block houses a multi-use games area, optimizing the space available onsite.

The building was designed with bright cladding and an articulated façade to create an inspiring learning environment. The school’s entrance is marked by a distinctive weeping willow tree, which was retained onsite with the school layout designed around it. Rooftop solar panels contribute to the school’s green energy.
