Monkseaton High School

Monkseaton High School is a co-educational upper school for 13 to 18 year-olds. The school is known for its innovations in degree study in schools as well as primary modern languages.
It also aims to promote excellence and respect for all through their ethos of Equality, Opportunity, Inclusion & Achievement.
The school building itself was originally based on a dRMM design for the ideal school, and since then, the building has evolved into a building which is of a revolutionary design in terms of other secondary education buildings. The light, airy feeling created throughout the school encourages ‘open’ learning and is a move away from traditional, ‘institutional’ school design.
The ellipse shape of the school is very efficient in terms of space and land usage. It is aerodynamic and due to its position, reduces seasonal heating and cooling impact.
The school also benefits from natural ventilation, known as E-stack, which controls and maintains a temperate climate within the building. External shades control the impact of the sun on the building and spaces within.
Working with contractor T Clarke and consultant A E Robb, Dextra supplied a much more efficient solution to replace the outdated lighting control system which no longer functioned correctly. There was also a desire to significantly reduce energy costs and this was achieved through the design, specification and delivery of a brand new LED lighting system throughout the entire school.
