John Ray Infant School, Braintree

Feilden+Mawson delivered the award winning new build 4 form entry Infant School and Junior School extension. Regarded by Essex County Council as an exemplar school for its design, the new infant school, totalling over 2,000m², was successfully delivered on time and on budget.

Key challenges included maintaining a high level of precision on a fast-track programme to deliver a replacement building following a fire that devastated the existing school, whilst in the process creating a new identity for the school.
