Sarum Hall School

Sarum Hall is a small, girls' preparatory school. After sixty years of operation in a converted Victorian house, it moved, remaining on Eton Avenue, to this new larger and better equipped building in 1995. The cohesiveness and intimacy of the original school has been recreated by focusing activities around a central stair hall. Classrooms are placed to the rear of the site, while the more individual spaces - the hall, dining room, science and art rooms - are located along the street to produce an appropriately rich and varied elevation to the avenue of late nineteenth-century houses. The school is built largely in red brick, punctuated by recessed panels of white render which express the main interior spaces and highlight entrances.
