Pexhurst has been working closely with Bancroft's School on several projects to extend and redevelop this historic school. The two storey extension to the Prep School was designed to reflect the current brick clad construction and provide extra accommodation, connecting to the existing structure through a link block.

The steel frame construction included reinforced piles, beam and block slab at the ground floor level and a metal deck at the 1st floor level, with all elevations clad in cavity brick and block to reflect the other buildings.

Pexhurst provided a complete range of services in the construction and fit-out of this extension, including space planning for offices and classrooms. The project had to meet a range of building standards and also be completed during the strict timeframe of the summer holidays to avoid disruption to pupils and teachers.

Upon completion of the extension Pexhurst also provided external landscaping services
which included a play area and the reinstatement of a car park
and infrastructure.
