The site for the new St John’s RC Primary School allowed for the inclusion of the first new municipal park in Edinburgh for a generation. Holmes Miller Architects were selected for both projects to promote integration and blur the boundary between the park and school.

A Siena railing fence and double-leaf gate were specified for the 172 metre intermediate boundary. The 2.2m high railings, which are manufactured with conical pales, met the requirement for a high level of security for the school pupils.  A further two double-leaf gates were supplied for the street front of the school and two single leaf gates for pedestrian access.
