Inspired Learning

Designs for a school that empowers children to decide how they learn.

  • St Christopher’s is an all-girls prep school on a tightly bound urban site in Hampstead. We were appointed to help the new leadership take a fresh look at their estate and develop a 10-year strategic masterplan to coincide with the school’s 150th anniversary.

    We created a programme of engagement activities with staff, pupils and parents to deep-dive into the school’s culture, ethos and operations, and coupled this with a forensic analysis of the site.

    As part of our mission to make design education more inclusive, accessible and engaging, we welcomed fifty pupils from St Christopher’s to our Peckham studio for an all-day workshop with the team.

    We’ve helped implement the first phase of the masterplan - extending and reimagining their reception year block classrooms and playground.
