John Perryn School rebuilt
Image: © David Hawgood Taken: 18 Sep 2010
The school was completely rebuilt in 2009. The old one seen at Image was a squared-off figure 8 with the playground in the middle like the exercise yard in a prison, and the classrooms had no views over London. The new one built in 2009 is arranged along the top of its site with classrooms on the first floor having superb views over London. It is a pathfinder scheme to replace a failing school, see New London Architecture http://www.newlondonarchitecture.org/project.php?id=1020&name=john_perryn_school . The architects are Penoyre and Prasad. Viewing it as part of Open Day London, I was lucky enough to be shown round by the architect who explained its features. As well as the primary school there is a Children's Unit to provide all services needed for younger children. The school has particular provision for children of travellers.
