Spreyton Primary School

Designed for Spreyton Primary School, this purpose-built kindergarten provides contemporary early learning facilities that connect children with the natural environment. The building and landscape work together to create flexible, engaging learning environments where indoor and outdoor play are seamlessly integrated.

The project includes two kindergarten classrooms accommodating 25 students each, connected by a shared entry and kitchen, together with a secure outdoor learning environment. The landscaped play space links the new building with the existing school, providing nature-based play opportunities including water play, a bicycle track and climbing structures constructed from repurposed local apple crates.

The design centres on a courtyard beneath large established trees, creating a protected outdoor learning space that extends the classrooms into the landscape. Generous glazing, natural timbers and a restrained material palette strengthen the connection between the interior and its surroundings, while supporting a calm, flexible learning environment. The result is a contemporary education facility that responds to the needs of early learning while enhancing the wider school campus.
