13.09.12
Clapton Girls' Academy has been awarded the AJ Retrofit for Schools 2012. Clapton Girls’ Academy is a successful inner city secondary school with Specialist Technology status, and is part of Hackney’s Building Schools for the Future programme. Consisting of 40 per cent new buildings and 60 per cent refurbishedbuildings, the design provides an enhanced physical environment with particular respect to the historic architectural features of the original Edwardian “Pankhurst” Building on the site. Most notably the grand staircase has been restored and the entrance hall transformed to provide a much more welcoming a generous space.
