Construction and phasing

The works to construct the new school are to be planned to ensure safety and minimise environmental impact. The nature of construction will naturally cause a level of disruption to the surrounding area though the appointed contractor will ensure that this is kept to a minimum as far as reasonably possible and will prepare a Construction Management Plan providing details of how this will be achieved.

Who is building the school?

Bowmer + Kirkland have been appointed as Main Contractor by the Department for Education.  They are very experienced in the construction and development of schools. You can see some examples on their website here.

How safe will it be during construction?

The active construction site will be securely screened and boarded to ensure no access is available to unauthorised personnel. Pupils’ ability to access other parts of the school site which remain in use during the redevelopment is of paramount importance, as is their safety and wellbeing. Bowmer + Kirkland’s Health and Safety Policy may be found here.
