This new primary school building on Moreland Street in Islington was constructed in the playground of the original Moreland Street School.  The plan was for the school to move into the completed new building and then demolish the original that was built in 1964.  The new Moreland Street School accommodates a 420 pupil primary school, a double nursery provision and a children's centre.  The headteacher says of the new building that it has, "... large, bright, airy classrooms which will provide an excellent environment in which to challenge and stimulate our children. Our new school hall with stage lighting and sports equipment and dance studio, new library and ICT room, new family kitchen and full after school programme alongside extensive play and sports outdoor facilities will be fantastic. We will bring all we stand for, all we have built over almost 5 years, all our success and lift it into our new building."

The architect explains that, "... The design places the youngest children at natural ground level, the ‘common facilities’ on the middle ’street’ level and the older children on the top floor.  The School Hall and Activity Hall are on Level 2, (street level) providing easy access for the public. This position locates the kitchen so that deliveries can be made without vehicles entering the site. Dining takes place in the Hall.  Also on this ‘middle’ floor are specialist facilities, i.e. the Library/LRC, staff areas, administration and MI room.  All Children’s Centre rooms, all Nursery rooms, all Reception Classes, and all Infants rooms have direct access to outside areas at site level (Level 1) The Moreland Street elevation could suffer noise intrusion. The Administration offices, WCs, storage and group rooms (with fixed windows) are on this side of the building. "
