Chobham Academy

Built

Timothy Soar

Conceived pre-Olympics and used during the 2012 Games (as a gym and security hub), Chobham Academy is an All-Ages school that serves 1300 students and the emerging community of the post-Games park.

Opening in September 2013, with a specialism in literature and the performing arts, Chobham Academy serves the established local communities of Leyton and Stratford and the emerging community of the post-Games Park.

Designed as part of a strong new urban grain whose pattern is reflective of existing London streets, a powerful drum form centres three connected buildings, which include a main building, primary school with nursery accommodation and a specialist arts building that also serves the community.
