阿姆斯特丹英国学校成立于1978年，为900名3至18岁的儿童提供英国国际教育。学校位于阿姆斯特丹奥德祖德区，由三个部分组成。幼儿部、初级中学和高级中学。学校遵循英国国家课程，学生们在第一和第二关键阶段参加SAT考试。在高中部，学生参加GCSE和A-Levels考试。学校被英国政府认证为英国海外学校，是英国国际学校理事会（COBIS）的成员。

The British School of Amsterdam founded in 1978, offers British international education to 900 children aged from three to 18. Located in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, the school is made up of three sections: Early Years, Junior School, and Senior School. The school follows the National Curriculum for England and the pupils take SATs in Key Stage 1 and 2. In Senior School, pupils sit GCSEs and A-Levels. The school is accredited by the UK Government as a British School Overseas and is a member of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS).

2016年，Atelier PRO赢得委托，与Hoogevest architecten和Buro Sant en Co一起为阿姆斯特丹的英国学校创造一个新的家，英国学校已经发展到在阿姆斯特丹占据三个不同的位置。但它一直有一个愿景，就是将所有的学生集中在一个地方–最好是一个结合了特色和历史以及充足的户外游戏空间的地方。

In 2016 Atelier PRO won the commission to create a new home for The British School of Amsterdam, together with Hoogevest architecten and Buro Sant en Co. The British School had grown to occupy three different locations in Amsterdam. But it had always the vision of bringing together all pupils in a single location – ideally one that combines character and history with ample outdoor play space.

为了实现这个愿望，学校收购了Havenstraat 6，这是阿姆斯特丹的前监狱之一。这座建筑是在1888年至1891年间按照政府监狱建筑师W.C. Metzelaar的规格设计和建造的。学校对新楼的设想。

To make that aspiration a reality, the school acquired the Havenstraat 6, one of Amsterdam’s former prisons. This building was designed and built between 1888 and 1891 to the specifications of W.C. Metzelaar, government architect for prisons. The school’s vision for the new building.

新址加强了学校的卓越声誉和它在英国国际教育领域的前沿地位。学校和建筑师们在规划和设计上雄心勃勃，创造了以原始和富有想象力的方式激发学习和享受的建筑。内部和外部都很美，而且很有特色。该建筑促进了学校高质量、积极、以学生为中心的学习精神，并以无缝的先进技术和一流的支持服务为后盾。

The new site strengthens the school’s reputation for excellence and its position at the forefront of British international education. The school and the architects were ambitious in their planning and design, creating buildings that inspire learning and enjoyment in original and imaginative ways. The interior and exterior is beautiful and distinctive. The building promotes the school’s ethos of high-quality, active, pupil-centred learning backed by seamless state-of-the-art technology and first-rate support services.

设计愿景。从我们的角度来看，我们希望该建筑作为一个城市街区出现，在绿色植物的环绕下，展现出它的全部光彩。通过绿色的树篱，我们回忆起古老的回忆墙。在它的后面，是一个适合在树下撤退的刺激性区域，适合任何学校的游戏和运动。我们把一个荒凉的监狱变成了一个富有表现力的儿童世界，在这里四个独立的学校的领域整合成一个。英国学校的DNA是明显的。每所学校都表现出与它的年龄组相匹配的特殊性格。这些计划并不都适合于现有的建筑。这就是为什么增加了一个新的结构。

Design vision. From our perspective, we wanted the building to emerge as a city block in its full glory, surrounded by greenery. With green hedgerow, we recall the old reminiscent wall. Behind it, a stimulating area for retreating under the trees, for play and sport suited to any school. We turned a desolated prison into an expressive children’s world, where the domain of four separate schools integrates into one. The DNA of the British School is pronounced. Each school manifests a particular character to match its age group. The plans did not all fit into the existing building. That’s why a new structure was added.

四个侧翼 原来的建筑有四个侧翼，这使得为每所学校分配一个侧翼是明智的，从而使每所学校能够将旧的部分与新的部分结合起来。通过为每所学校利用翼楼的底层，形成了该年龄组类别的特定个人身份和特征的基础。这在新旧之间创造了一种挑衅性的对比。

Four wings. The original building had four wings which make it sensible to allocate one wing to each school, thereby allowing each school to incorporate an old part with a new section. By utilising the ground floor of the wing for each school, the basis is formed for a particular individual identity and character for that age-group category. This creates a provocative contrast between old and new.

教室在纪念碑的尺寸和结构中被很好地定义，这有助于加强新建筑的潜力。聪明的结构。学习环境的新区域是智能结构设计，是面向未来和可持续的。它们是以这样的方式进行分区的，即在社会动态区域和用于深思和集中注意力的安静教室之间存在自然流动。

The classrooms are well defined within the size and structure of the monument, which helps to strengthen the potential of the new construction. Smart structure. The new areas for the learning environment are smart structure designs that are future-orientated and sustainable. They are zoned in such a way that a natural flow exists between the social dynamic areas and the silent classrooms for deep thought and concentration.

每个年龄组的类别都有自己的空间，支持社会结构，其中英国学校的熟悉和安全的氛围被充分定义。一所学校有三个身份。在发展一所英国学校的同时，每个独立的学校都在一个框架内保持自己的个性。

Each age-group category has its own space that supports the social structures, wherein the familiar and safe atmosphere of the British School is fully defined. One school has three identities. One British School was developed while at the same time each separate school kept its own personality inside one framework.
