St Josephs School, Tyneside

The new St Josephs School is part refurbishment and part new build and has been designed to achieve a BREEAM rating of very good.

The new three storey circulation street is a light and vibrant space and runs the full length of the new teaching block. Flexibility of space is an important factor. The teaching block has moving partitions within the break out areas , some classrooms contain folding partition walls that can be moved to accommodate for larger classes and can be used as examination spaces which will help reduce disruption to the rest of the school
