4 October 2019 – Bishop’s Stortford North Primary School

Work is progressing well on site at Bishop’s Stortford North Primary School in Hertfordshire.

We have been appointed alongside ArchitecturePLB and Balfour Beatty to create landscaping proposals for this new primary school, which will be the first of 3 planned schools at the Bishop’s Stortford North development.

With more than 2000 new homes planned for the area, the county council wants to establish up to five forms of entry across two primary schools and a six form entry secondary school to meet the increasing need in school places.

The school is split over 2 levels with the school on the upper level and the playing fields on the lower level allowing for a terraced seating arena. The hard play area will sit next to the school with plenty of area for active play.

This challenging site has been designed to balance cut and fill and enable the slope to be used to provide both level and sloping areas to maximise the play potential for future students.
