St Mary Magdalene C of E School in Greenwich

Penoyre & Prasad have won a competition which will expand the St Mary Magdalene Church of England Primary School as part of the larger regeneration masterplan of Greenwich Peninsula.

The Peninsula campus will be designed as an ‘all-through’ school which will realise the vision of the school and the Diocese through a flexible and adaptable arrangement of formal teaching spaces, connected and counterpoised by more informal gathering and learning areas. The project aim is to achieve successful co-location of the primary and secondary elements, whilst maintaining a sense of progression from Nursery to 6th Form.

The assembled whole forms a contemporary piece of architecture that bares a strong relationship to its site and local context while referencing the future urban context.

This junior education building in Southeast London is due for completion in August 2017.
