Harrietsham Primary School

The New Primary School opened on 5th September having moved from the old site on Ashford Road to West Street.

"Harrietsham school provides new primary school facilities at a sensitive green field site near Maidstone, Kent. The new school is a single storey structure built on a sloping site with the rear of the building embedded in the slope. This allows the existing ground levels to flow into the sinuous organic curves of the roof.

The primary structure is a steel frame founded on mass concrete trench footings. Pre-stressed beam and block construction provides a solid ground floor. Timber ’I‘ beams spanning between the steel frame provides a light weight roof structure supporting standing seam and green roofs."
