  • Happy Pier Project with our school's architects Egret West
    18 Jul 2025

    Designing a Happy Pier: Year 1 Work with Studio Egret West In June, we were delighted to welcome back the talented team from Studio Egret West, the architects behind our school building, for a special workshop with our Year 1 pupils. The visit began with an engaging assembly titled “What does an architect do?”, where children learned about the role of architecture and how design influences the spaces around us. The architects then introduced an exciting real-life challenge: “Let’s redesign Erith Pier to make it a Happy Pier!” This creative task was part of an ongoing regeneration project at Erith Pier – a local site close to our school. Our children enthusiastically rose to the challenge, sharing imaginative ideas to transform the pier into a joyful, welcoming space for the community.
