Delivering a world-class education environment for an institution over 400 years old.

We are delighted to be working with Highgate School to navigate the many pitfalls of today’s complex planning environment, helping them to deliver significant investment in facilities and buildings to maintain its reputation amongst the best independent schools nationally and to provide wider community and social benefits. 

To ensure that the range of its curriculum remains relevant and of the highest quality in support of its educational and charitable objectives, Highgate requires increased flexibility and resilience across its estate, responding to the challenge of our changing climate and the rigour of today’s student body. Entirely within the Highgate Conservation Area, many of the school’s buildings are listed. Formulating a comprehensive renewal strategy, built on detailed needs evidence, has been key to managing planning and heritage risk.
