Stephen Perse School

Encouraging young people to thrive, the Stephen Perse Foundation is a family of schools in Cambridge, Madingley and Saffron Walden, educating students aged 1 to 18. Their secondary school in central Cambridge is a stunning cross-laminated timber building that Sharps Redmore were delighted to be a part of from planning to completion.

CLT is an architectural delight – but it can be acoustically challenging due to it’s low density. Sharps Redmore advised on how to manage this issue, allowing the spoken word to be clearly heard in classrooms across the building. This new development included teaching rooms, activity spaces and a rooftop MUGA for sports and games.
