NEW JUNIOR SCHOOL SITE APPROVED
We are absolutely delighted to announce that we have secured planning permission from Bath and North East Somerset Council to move ahead with the proposed development of the Cranwell House site in Weston as the location for our new Junior School. We have spent the last four years in constructive dialogue with all key stakeholders to reconcile and resolve a wide range of complex issues. The Head, Rebecca Dougall says, “We are incredibly passionate about this project and are thrilled that we now have the green light to move ahead with giving Cranwell House a new lease of life and providing an inspirational new home for our Junior School. Our inventive and sensitive scheme, developed hand-in-hand with our outstanding team of architects and consultants and founded on intensive research-led design, has received unambiguous support and exceeds key criteria in terms of conservation, highways, ecology and operation. Our plan is the optimum solution for the site and we are delighted that this has been recognised by the Development Control Committee.” Richard Collis, Partner at RIBA award-winning Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, architects on the Cranwell House project said, "The scheme was developed with, and supported by Council officers and statutory consultees all the way through the planning process and the proposals rightly deserved to be approved. We are very happy for the Royal High School and are looking forward to commencing works on site shortly.” The successful application brings back into beneficial use the longstanding vacant building, 160 years after it was built. The Cranwell House Redevelopment Project involves the conservative repair and conversion of a Grade II-listed Victorian Mansion and the construction of a new, sensitively designed and environmentally conscious teaching block alongside. Combined with associated landscape works within the ecologically diverse estate grounds, the new school, under the guidance of Mrs Marissa Davis, the Head of The Royal High Junior School, will deliver, through dedicated and specialist facilities and a new Reggio Emilia inspired curriculum which celebrates the richness of childhood, a special place of learning for 3-11 year old girls. The new school at Cranwell House will promote Bath as a beacon of academic excellence for both UK and international students.
