The project was partly funded by ESFA’s Condition Improvement Fund. Barker Associates assisted the school with the application process and were appointed to develop and manage the project.

The budget was tight so an economical design solution was required without compromising on quality and style.

TG Escapes were selected to produce a bespoke design, reduce the onsite construction period with modular units manufactured off site, and to minimise disruption to the operation of the school.

Jonathan Kamya, Deputy Head explained that TG Escapes stood out because we were very approachable and solution focused.

The build took 6 months, and was handed over on time for the beginning of the school term.

Speaking at the new studio opening Craig Maguire, Acting Head, stated, ‘Dance and drama are a central part of Hendon School’s offering. Our talented students can now utilise this wonderful building to practice and further develop their skills and unleash their creativity.’
