Lytle Associates Architects have extensive experience in school masterplans, design, planning and project management across a wide range of education sectors from nurseries, primary and secondary schools to sixth form colleges and universities, stretching back over 30 years.
We are an established team with good rapport. We enjoy building personal relationships, which in turn strengthen the quality and continuity of our service at every level. We act as retained consultants for many of our school clients for whom we provide ongoing consultancy on a ‘school architect’ or framework agreement model. Our commitment and expertise has led to considerable repeat business – over 300 separate school projects completed or in progress for more than 50 education sector clients.
We are passionate about the importance of high quality school buildings, and the impact they can have on pupil’s learning. We understand the issues that are essential in the best school design – learning spaces that inspire and engage, while being practical, functional, well laid out and a pleasure to use, attractive to prospective pupils, parents and staff, adaptable and conducive to learning.

At Lytle Associates we consider client consultation to be an integral and continual part of the building process. Every school is unique. On previous school projects we have held consultation days where we have met with teaching staff, support staff, pupils, governors and user groups to understand needs and aspirations and generate ideas. We thrive on the excitement at enthusiasm at this stage of a project. Following from this we have worked with focus groups, held design competitions and workshops, run seminar programmes and conducted hardhat tours of sites for school pupils.
Sara Waterfield, education specialist architect with 25 years’ experience designing schools, would be pleased to offer World Class Schools a free, initial visit to discuss your school estate and the potential for building developments.
