An inspiring new learning centre at a secondary school in the heart of Derbyshire

Planning Permission 

AJA secured planning permission for a new learning centre at Lady Manners School, designed to provide flexible, future-ready teaching spaces that enhance the learning environment and support the school's continued growth.

New Facilities

The building incorporates adaptable classrooms and modern IT facilities, creating a high-quality education space that supports contemporary teaching methods. Its design takes cues from the adjoining PE Centre, using buff stone, timber cladding and extensive curtain glazing to create a cohesive addition to the existing campus.

Designed for Growth

Large areas of glazing maximise natural daylight and strengthen the connection between the learning spaces and the surrounding landscape, creating bright, welcoming environments that promote student wellbeing and engagement. The building has also been designed with future expansion in mind, ensuring the school can adapt to changing educational needs for years to come.
