The three-storey building will boost鈥痶he secondary school鈥檚 current鈥痗apacity鈥痮f 1,080 pupils by鈥痑 further鈥�360 student places. The new extension will contain 20 new classrooms, food preparation rooms,鈥痵cience laboratories, a鈥痭ew Sixth Form study鈥痑rea and social spaces. It will also increase the size of the existing鈥痵pecial educational needs (SEN) area.鈥��
As the鈥痭ew鈥�2,300 square metre extension will connect seamlessly with the existing building, precision is paramount for the build. Morgan Sindall is using a traditional steel frame with precast floors.鈥疶his aims to make the construction process more efficient, improve the build quality of the new extension, and reduce onsite waste.
To minimise disruption to pupils and teaching staff during term time, the project team has fully coordinated construction activities to align with the school鈥檚 daily鈥痮perations. As the works are being carried out whilst the existing school buildings are in use, a tunnel has been incorporated into the construction area to ensure that students wanting to access鈥痶he school鈥檚 sports鈥痜acilities can pass by the works safely and easily.鈥��
