This building has been designed to be adaptable and flexible, ensuring the school environment is future-proof. The design offers various efficiencies and unites the music and drama departments in a single facility, connected to the existing Performing Arts Centre. The new performing arts teaching spaces are purpose-built to support the high-quality learning and teaching within these departments.

The design approach was to create a reserved and elegant building, blending and subtly referencing the surrounding architecture. Constructed mainly of London brick and inspired by classical proportions, the building features copper-clad strips alongside the main windows. The south-facing facade at the heart of the site has a colonnade that provides solar shading to minimize heat gains and glare and maximise daylight in the teaching spaces, all aspects that have a crucial impact on learning.
