A cost-effective, biophilic, timber frame, modular-built school.

A vision of the future
Our concept of a biophilic school brings together students from a broad socio-economic background, and a diverse range of abilities and cultures, in a harmonious, natural setting. With net-zero indoor and outdoor spaces, plus outstanding teaching and support staff, we will inspire the next generation to make a positive contribution to society.

“It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts ... it is to teach them to think.”

Robert M. Hutchins - American educational philosopher

What is biophilic learning?
Biophilic learning means incorporating nature-based elements into a school's design at every opportunity, offering students a place to truly connect with the outside world.
about biophilic learning
Our curriculum
Our teaching will encompass relevant aspects of a mainstream curriculum, while being diverse and inclusive in its delivery. We subscribe to the principles of The Harmony Project approach, where pupils learn best when nature gives meaning for knowledge, skills and their effective application.
