King’s School's Sixth Form Centre saw a 'boutique feel' educational scheme coming to fruition. Roberts Limbrick Architects oversaw the design to reflect modern workspaces and to meet with the Headmaster's ethos that pupils should 'aim higher'. Pupils and staff will benefit from a stylish and flexible location in which they can enjoy work, play and study. Classrooms have interactive screens and modular desks, so the seating layout can be rearranged for different lessons. SLG Brands founder and King’s School alumnus, Miles Dunkley, helped to create a thought-provoking collection of art pieces that challenge pupils to ‘think differently’ about their perceptions of the world and inspire their creativity. As well as a tongue-in-cheek portrait of the school’s founder, King Henry VIII, adorned with shades and a gold medallion, the collection includes modern reinterpretations of classic works of art – including a version of Boticelli’s The Birth of Venus featuring Paralympian Ellie Simmonds, as well as portraits of Maya Angelou, Alan Turing and Malala Yousafzai. With an archaeologist on-site for the full 18 months, to help preserve the history of the building, the team discovered a 13th-century archway buried within a wall while building work was taking place. Having been hidden for around 600 years, the archway now has pride of place in the Sixth Form Centre’s reception.
