Hinguar School

Home » Education » Hinguar School

This project comprises a new 2-form entry primary school, nursery and associated playgrounds on a greenfield site in Shoeburyness.

Due to its location in a flood risk zone the school had to be raised on a podium deck, with car parking and covered play facilities positioned below.  The two storey building on top of the podium benefits from excellent views over the surrounding landscaped playgrounds towards the sea.

A highly flexible internal layout has been developed through detailed consultation with the school teachers and governors to suit the school’s curriculum vision and to promote personalised learning through independence.
