Our
Brief

Docklands Primary School opened in 2021 to service the growing local community. The school had a collection of architectural renders and photographs of the buildings, but nothing that showed a living, breathing school. School Days was given the task of capturing a range of vibrant, warm images that showed off the school at work.
