The school belongs to the Rivierenland Flemish Community Education school group 6. The borough of Boom, known for its former brickmaking industry, has 16,000 inhabitants and a rising birth rate. The school is located in Boom-Noord, in the district containing newer residential areas and close to the De Schorre recreation zone. There are a number of other schools in the immediate vicinity. The school is currently housed in a main building which dates from the 1960s, close to which a building with four classrooms was built ten years ago and to which seven temporary container classrooms have also since been added. The school has 215 pre-school infants and 304 pupils in primary education.

The school governors, management, teaching staff and parents wish to work together towards the same single goal: giving the best possible opportunities to the children of the school. The school devotes attention to the skills, creativity and outlook of the pupils, in addition to their emotional and social development. The school aims to be an active and broad school for the local area, with an open culture and good communication.

Due to the increasing pupil numbers, there is a shortage of classrooms. If a new building with ten classrooms is erected, the temporary container classrooms can be removed and the playground will become larger again. In addition to classrooms, the new building must also house a multi-purpose hall/refectory with a kitchen and space for the teaching staff and administrative offices. The new building can be built on the site as a freestanding structure, but it is nevertheless expected that it will combine with the existing buildings to form an attractive whole.

The new building must be a compact and energy-efficient construction with high visibility in order to promote its after-school use by the local community.
