Old Park Primary School
Telford
Telford & Wrekin Council
The Old Park Centre sits at the heart of the community in Malinslee, Telford. A major objective in regenerating the Centre was to act as a catalyst to lift a deprived area of Telford and provide enhanced community facilities, this has already in part been achieved with the successful completion of the school and development centre. The main construction elements of the Centre regeneration comprise a 450 Pupil Primary School (Old Park Primary School), a Child Development Centre, a Primary Care Doctors Surgery & Health Centre, and several Community Retail Units.
Old Park Primary School was a new facility following the amalgamation of Langley Street St Leonard’s Primary and Malinslee Primary School. The school has been designed to accommodate 450 pupils and has a circular central hall and dining facilities and four wings forming a cross in plan.
Three of the wings accommodate teaching spaces and administration and the final wing has a nursery and community facilities which includes a small sports hall. External spaces were very important and there are a number of stimulating environments. Part of the external space is protected by a membrane canopy for all year round use.
