Riverside Primary School was based in a complex Grade II Listed Victorian building that had suffered wartime bomb damage and numerous unsympathetic ad-hoc alterations. To suit the needs of 21st Century education, the school required a replacement teaching block and reconfiguration of existing spaces.
