Oakham Primary School - The Little Build

Cantoo was commissioned by Willmott Dixon Construction and Rutland County Council to work with Oakham Primary school to generate ideas for their new build scheme.


We worked with pupils and staff to generate concepts in order to develop the interior specification for this exciting new primary school. We also developed the school branding as part of the process; an oak leaf design was used for the school logo and replicated on the outside of the building in folded aluminium.


Architect : White Design

Contractor : Willmott Dixon Construction

Client : Rutland County Council

Cantoo spent time with our school community and translated our ethos into colours and shapes.  This has created exactly the effect that we were hoping for.  All the children (be they gifted or severely challenged in their academic life) have taken part in the design and feel that it belongs to them.  Its created a lovely place to learn.
