Alex Freemantle's scheme for Water Hall Primary School saw off entries from around the UK to recieve this, the first award of the night.

"The Judges thought this was an outstanding example of a new primary school which met the needs of its community and delivered a beautiful, sustainable building. The central courtyard is particularly effective and creates a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Most importantly, the building reflects the school's ethos and is much loved by those who use it."
