been the pop-up building. CLTH’s Head acted fast as the impacts of lengthy lockdowns became apparent. He contacted marquee rental companies and quickly realised that, with no weddings, events or festivals happening, ‘their businesses were on their knees, frankly. We realised they could transport stuff fairly quickly at significant scale. Te marquees themselves are pretty robust. Tey can have insulation lagged on them. Tey’re very well ventilated. Tey can be lit very rapidly and make an instant setting for learning. We deployed them across a number of interested schools, in


But the slow evolution of small, permanent additions is of little help during a crisis. Hence, one area of great interest has been the pop-up building


Tower Hamlets and Haringay and an academy group in Essex. Tey found these hugely useful.’


Head also contacted a wedding organiser who had ‘beautiful canvas tents that normally cost tens of thousands to hire.’ Tey offered to ship the tents to wherever they were needed, creating an instantly appealing outdoor space. In the absence of playing fields or grass to pitch them on, one tent was secured to a playground with water butts and oriented towards the primary school’s allotment area, creating a safe and pleasant outdoor classroom and ‘grab-and-go’ dining


CASE STUDY ALFRETON PARK SEN SCHOOL


Alfreton Park SEN School in Derbyshire has a rare advantage in its setting. Located on the brow of a natural ridge in the Peak District, with views across a tree-lined landscape, architect Curl La Tourelle Head (CLTH) has created a really exceptional scheme for this all-through school, which is part of a larger campus of institutions for children with special needs. CLTH has designed the school as a series of low-lying buildings. Their arrangement and subtly coloured and treated zinc cladding are both sympathetic to the context and contours of the site, creating a secure, inclusive and welcoming learning


environment for pupils. A simple single-storey pitched roof section is used throughout, creating open and light-filled interiors for all activities ranging from trampolining to physiotherapy. Each classroom offers sheltered play space and uses internal


screens to ensure consistent views onto the surrounding parkland. CLTH’s director Wayne Head says: ‘It has very generous circulation and each of the classrooms has as much glazing as we can afford, appropriately shaded from high-angle sun. All classrooms benefit from the tree-lined, open prospect. And pupils should be able to circulate throughout the school with a sense of quietness and daylit spaces across the whole journey.’


Its low-impact credentials include a sustainable drainage system (SuDS), comprising a pond in the south-west corner that provides most of the attenuation. Water treatment will be achieved through plant filtration.
