“The local community are always at the very heart of designing an educational building, from the initial public consultations through to delivering a highly functional new school building.

“We are enormously grateful to Buckinghamshire Council and Contour Architecture for all their hard work and support in enhancing our wonderful school. This beautiful new building and facilities provide an outstanding start to school life for our Reception and KS1 children, and our whole school has befitted from the spacious new hall. Thank you to everyone involved!”
