Brune Park Community School is part of the Gosport and Fareham MAT. Replacing an old SCOLA building they selected TG Escapes to design a net-zero modular timber frame building providing flexible classroom space and conferencing facilities to act as a business hub. The building includes nine classrooms which can be opened up, breakout and office spaces, and large atrium.
Ashley is a large primary school for children aged between 4 and 11. Since September 2021, they have had three classes in each year group, with 630 pupils in the school. They benefit from a huge site which includes a large playing field and a forest school area, where children experience outdoor learning such as gardening, bee-keeping and scientific study.
The trust approached TG Escapes to design a modular school building for wrap-around care and to use as an art studio.
The Education Futures Trust aims to improve the life chances of children, families and vulnerable adults in Hastings and the surrounding area by helping them realise their potential and overcome the social, emotional and educational barriers to achievement. Focusing on the needs of the most disadvantaged and excluded residents, they build resilience to enable sustainable change. They work holistically, providing learning through forest schools, conservation work, The Shore Academy, sport, catering experiences and their community café.
Sir Charles Parsons is a school for young people aged eleven to nineteen who have a range of additional needs. This is the 2nd building TG Escapes has provided. The pressure on pupil numbers of all ages across Newcastle City was high so more space was needed in the main building. The solution was to create extra accommodation near to the first building to form a separate post-16 facility covering the complete curriculum. This second net-zero modular building provides four classrooms as well as ancillary spaces and achieves an A+ EPC at -31. Staff and students have kindly made a video about what their building means to them.
St Richards Catholic College needed to replace their existing chapel. The college are part of The Diocese of Arundel and Brighton for whom TG Escapes have provided two buildings previously at St Pauls Catholic College and St Philip Howard Catholic School. These buildings are part of a long-term plan led by the diocesan surveyor.
