We are looking for a building of high architectural quality that respects, • and is specific to, the character of the local area, the local community and • our educational vision. It will be at the heart of Trumpington for many • years to come: a school that draws people in and encourages them to • learn, a local landmark of positive change and opportunity. We are not • looking for an ‘iconic’ design in the sense of grandeur or overwhelming • physicality, or in quirky gimmicks.
