Work Complete On £10m North London Primary School

Work on a new £10 million primary school in North London is now complete.

The new facility is an addition for London Academy and was built by Morgan Sindall.

Features include 14 classrooms, two communal assembly halls and a kitchen area. The two-form entry facility also features a central atrium, which is flooded with natural light, and several unique teaching spaces including; an outdoor learning terrace, a central breakout space and a concrete auditorium.


Overall, the 67-week project has been built to a BREEAM 'Very Good' rating, as it is partially powered by solar panels and includes a specialised ‘breathing building' where automatic vents are used to control the temperature and level of CO2.

Neil Franklin, area director at Morgan Sindall, said: "London Academy is innovative in design and is already providing pupils in Edgware with a modern and creative education base.

"The project was unique in its delivery and included the modular construction of classrooms where over half were pre-fabricated off-site and craned into place. Specialist materials were also used to create the distinct blue and white checkered, glazed block-work exterior."

Cllr Reuben Thompstone added: "I'm delighted that the new London Academy Primary School has joined our family of schools, and will play its part in providing a first class education to our children."
