Temple Moor High School Sixth Form – Leeds

Bowman Riley designed an expanded sixth form block at Temple Moor High School to enhance its post-16 provision, meeting current demand and anticipated population growth in the area.

The school has provided post-16 education for 163 students, with high retention rates from earlier years. As a result, demand for post-16 places has steadily risen. This expansion will allow for an annual intake of 175 students, including those from Temple Moor High School and other schools across Leeds, bringing total capacity to 350.

The expansion will enable the school to offer students improved, high-quality facilities and resources, including seven additional classrooms, a new study area, a dedicated ICT suite, plus a significantly enlarged common room with a servery and areas set aside as a cybercafé and socialising area. The project also includes a dedicated sixth form entrance and reception, additional post-16 office space and a meeting room.

The additional new facilities will also enable the Temple Moor High School to offer a broader curriculum, including a T-Level in Early Years Education.

The project progressed through architectural stages 2–6, with Bowman Riley delivering the design under a Design & Build contract for the Red Kite Learning Trust. The project was novated to contractor Lindum Group, and we continued to work with them to develop and deliver the design brief set by the Trust.

The design team collaborated to overcome on-site challenges, ensuring the new sixth form building was delivered successfully and operational for the school community by the start of the new academic year.
