Brandlehow school top 5 facts
Brandlehow Primary School is a Grade II listed school in Brandlehow Road, Putney, London SW15.
It was built in 1950, and the architect was Ernő Goldfinger. English Heritage describe it thus: "Pre-cast reinforced concrete frame with red brick infill. Single storeyed with taller hall, which is fully glazed to playground. Shallow mono-pitched roofs. Roughly of 'L' plan, with assembly hall facing into playground from west and classrooms occupying north side of playground,' facing south. Large brick tower by entrance. One of only two schools built on Goldfinger's own school building system."
The site includes a caretaker's cottage, also designed by Goldfinger. In 2007 the cottage was demolished by the property development company Arbus Ltd, in contravention of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Following prosecution by English Heritage, the developer was ordered to rebuild the cottage. Reconstruction began in 2013.
