The redevelopment at Redlands comprised of a new two storey building for the Infants School with roof terrace and car parking underneath, a new multi-purpose hall with associated storage and amenities, a canteen and extensive recreation space and landscaping incorporating a grassed field, multi-purpose hard courts, play and lunch areas.

The courtyard is an integrated communal meeting and play area and informal teaching area, promoting a close family-oriented community and connection to the outside.

“[Wetherill Architects] listened to the client, resulting in a built form that manifested the desired vision of creating a de-institutionalised school building that fosters a strong sense of community… since moving into the new premises, the response has been overwhelmingly positive and everyone loves their new home.”
