The masterplan draws on the qualities of the Cambridge college typology, defining a progression of spaces that unfold from urban to rural, enabling a diverse range of different activities to take place.

The campus was designed with the community at its heart.  As well as creating a first-class learning and teaching environment, the proposals provide a full range of flexible and well-furnished community spaces – performing arts centre, sports facilities and event spaces.  These can be used independently from the rest of the school and represent a significant asset and resource for the new town.
