The ground floor plan for this all-age community school (also described in Section 1.3) is based on a cross-shape. A central spine houses all the large and specialist spaces (halls, library, sports, drama, dining, science design and technology, and art) which are most likely to be shared with the community. The main entrance and another entrance from the car park lead to an atrium in the central spine. The nursery has a separate entrance.The primary classrooms and one wing of secondary classes are self contained and cannot be reached without passing through security doors. The library is positioned to be accessible from the central circulation 'street' and directly from the outside when the rest of the school is shut. It has additional security cameras. An adjacent smaller-scale library is accessible from the primary wing for younger children. There is one kitchen serving primary and secondary halls.
