The new three form entry Colindale Primary school will, through a phased redevelopment, replace the existing two form entry school on the site. Incorporated within the school is provision for 20 pupils with special education needs.

The design focuses on ensuring that all facilities are fully accessible, while including specialist areas such as a sensory room and hydrotherapy pool to address specific special needs.

The landscape around the building is an important part of the learning environment and this has been designed to be both stimulating and accessible, providing a range of outdoor opportunities within an attractive setting.

The school is designed to be welcoming to the community, allow its key features, such as halls, pool and external pitches to be accessible by the community out-of-hours whilst remaining secure. Flexible spaces such as interview, meeting and parents room are also available to the community without coming through the main school.
