We are delighted to announce that our campus redevelopment project has claimed a further prestigious award.

In October 2024, the project won the Education Estates School of the Year Award and was shortlisted for the Inspiring Learning Spaces Award. This follows the National Civic Trust Award the project won in March 2024.
With the Department for Education as the event partner, the Education Estates is the UK’s leading learning environments event – a unique forum that brings the whole community together from the policy makers and designers to suppliers and educators across the country as well as internationally.
The Education Estates Awards recognise excellence in the design, build, management, and maintenance of educational facilities. They celebrate outstanding achievements across various categories within the education sector.
Thirty one judges assessed numerous projects in 14 categories. Click HERE to read more about the shortlisted winners.
Central Foundation Campus Redevelopment Project was shortlisted in two categories:
- School Project of the Year – Winner
Why should this project win: Central Foundation Boys’ School campus redevelopment has transformed educational provision on the site, navigating significant financial and logistical constraints. The project creatively responds to the existing buildings and heritage assets, complementing them with sensitive new interventions, allowing the school to remain on this site and continue serving its local community.
- Inspiring Learning Spaces
Why should this project win: At Central Foundation Boys’ School, our decade-long partnership led to a comprehensive redevelopment of a historically rich campus. We created 13,000m² of upgraded spaces, including new science laboratories and a subterranean sports hall, while transforming the listed Tabernacle Chapel into performing arts spaces and maintaining school operations throughout.
This significant recognition follows the National Civic Trust Award that the Central Foundation Campus Redevelopment Project received in March 2024.
The Civic Trust Awards is one of the only remaining independent built environment awards schemes, not linked to any organisation, institution or publication and operates on a not-for-profit basis. It is the longest standing built environment awards scheme in Europe since 1959. Its objective is to recognise projects with outstanding architecture, planning and design in a built environment that have made a positive contribution to the local communities they serve.
Over 320 projects were entered from across the UK and from abroad. The school was visited by a panel of three judges last October. Following the assessment process, Central Foundation Campus Redevelopment Project received the National Civic Trust Award.

We are now looking forward to the final of the New London Awards, for which the Central Foundation Campus Redevelopment Project was shortlisted in two categories: Education and People’s Vote.
Presented in association with the Mayor of London, the New London Awards celebrate all scales of projects, from community-led to large-scale mixed-use developments.
The 2024 shortlist showcases those projects that contribute to and enhance our vision for a New London: a city that is sustainable, civilised and egalitarian, that seeks to improve the quality and standards of new design.
