The first of these new projects was Outwood Academy, a secondary school for 1,350 pupils, including a substantial sixth form in Adwick-le-Street, Doncaster. The proposals created new purpose-built facilities for the academy on its existing fields to the south-west of the original school buildings. The new accommodation consisted of two buildings - a principal teaching facility with a separate sports centre to maximise potential for community use.

The proposals established a strong frontage to Great North Road. Key, large-scale facilities such as the main hall, dance and drama faculties and learning resource centre are situated on this elevation. A generous overhanging roof shades the upper storeys from the western sun and provides a unifying element across the façade. This, and the three-storey arrangement of the academy, gives a fitting sense of scale and presence.

The second project secured was the De Warenne Academy in Doncaster.
