Bishop Loveday Classroom Block

Two new classrooms for Key Stage 2 pupils at Bishop Loveday Church of England Primary School in Bodicote, near Banbury. We designed the extension as a standalone teaching block, giving older pupils a dedicated teaching space alongside the existing buildings.

 

The classrooms open through full-height folding glazed doors onto a paved terrace, so teaching can move outside in good weather. A timber canopy frames the outdoor space and shelters the glazed frontage, while high-level windows bring daylight deep into the rooms.

 

The block is clad in timber boards laid on the diagonal, with slim metal trims and a low roof line that keeps it in scale with the single-storey school buildings around it.

 

The project is part of our work on small-scale school expansions and modular-style education design: compact teaching spaces designed to add room with minimal disruption to the working school. We design classroom blocks, primary school extensions and SEN provision for schools across Oxfordshire and beyond.
