The delivery team responsible for Monkseaton High School in North Tyneside, which opened to pupils in summer 2009, has won the 2010 National Constructing Excellence 'Value' Award, one of the most prestigious national awards for the built environment. The exemplar school, which has nearly 1000 pupils aged between 13 and 19, is already setting high standards for educational facilities of the future and has secured multiple accolades for the quality and innovation displayed by its striking design. With its unusual triangular classrooms and open learning areas orientated for maximum natural ventilation and daylight, it is effectively an 'educational community' under a vast protective shell allowing movement between areas, and even use of the sports pitch, in all weathers.
