Hackney’s rose-tinted spectacle

“We have undertaken considerable work with this firm and have been delighted with both the process and the outcomes. So much so that we are engaged in a further project to build upon the works done to continue to develop the school’s site to deliver provision to children and their families. “

Rebecca Abrahams, Headteacher.

SCABAL were employed by the London Borough of Hackney and The Learning Trust to join in the process of renewing the Brook Community Primary School through a Fresh Start.This initiative aimed to give the school a new identity and ultimately to provide the highest standards in education for pupils and turn the school into a valuable asset for the wider community.

Through early involvement in the development of the new identity we undertook substantial works for the continuing evolution of the school. These began early to allow the community to feel that the Fresh Start was making a real impact of the life of the school. We arranged for the quick replacement of run-down temporary classrooms with a lovely bumpy yellow soft-playground and formed two new classrooms in the main body of the school. These and other Precedent Projects were soon joined by a major works programme to the existing Victorian building.
