Thrybergh Comprehensive is a four-form entry school, which will increase its pupil intake to five forms under the project with a capacity of 700 pupils.
The existing buildings created management problems for the school. The buildings did not provide a cohesive structure and the hall was used as a major thoroughfare from teaching spaces to the dining areas.
Set on three levels, accessibility was also a problem; the library and ICT facilities for example were currently situated on the third floor. Suiting was not reported as a major problem for the school. However, areas such as English and drama doubled up due to the size of the curriculum departments. The main entrance to the school did not have sufficient architectural impact and the facilities for receiving of visitors were poor, the security of the pupils and staff was compromised by this.
From the earliest stages of the design process the design team has taken a proactive stance to developing a holistic concept for the site. This has entailed creating a development plan, with the intention of maximising the impact in both organisational terms and visual terms of any development on the site.
Raising attainment through better environments is a key tenet of the design guidance of Building Bulletin 95, ‘Schools for the Future’. The design team has followed the principles of this guidance when developing the scheme.
Thrybergh school is to consolidate the school on the existing site through a programme of refurbishment and re-modelling. New build main entrance, classrooms and hall will be provided. The existing sports hall will be refurbished. The Youth Service Accommodation within the Spectrum Centre will be re-furbished.
The new building was opened in September 2005 and all the work was finished in summer 2006.
