The new St Mary's CE Primary School replaces an outdated Victorian school. The greenfield site is elevated and on the fringes of Lamberhurst a strict conservation area. Highly visible above the village, sensitivity in scale is reflected in the low building style and a roofscape broken down into a series of smaller roofs, clad in red cedar shingles. The new school provides five classrooms , a hall, library, SEN and non-teaching accommodation as well as car parking and recreational facilities.
