Walthamstow School for Girls

The Waltham Forest Output Specification clearly describes the high achievements, ethos and values of Walthamstow School for Girls along with its future needs and aspirations for the BSF programme.

The Project scheme was developed through site visits and a series of design meetings attended by BY-UK, the School and LBWF representatives. On top of this the team also gained useful insights from a student consultation session involving some of the pupils from the school’s BSF student group and benefited immensely from the background work carried out by the group including their own ideas and proposals for the extension and refurbishment of their school.

It is believed that it is only through an open, consultative process that buildings may be designed to reflect stakeholder aspirations, meet functional and affordability requirements and facilitate and inspire successful transformation.
