Enabling Works kickstart at Nottinghamshire’s Bramcote College
Morgan Sindall Construction’s Midlands business has been appointed to deliver a transformational new secondary school and sixth form at Bramcote College by The White Hills Park Trust.
Located on the same site as the existing college, the new three-storey, Five Form Entry (5FE) facility will provide a modern, inspiring, and inclusive learning environment for up to 750 secondary and 200 sixth form students.
Morgan Sindall has now been contracted to carry out the enabling works to prepare the site for the construction of the new steel-frame, brick-façade building. These works will include detailed site surveys, ground investigations, service diversions, and the demolition of the existing sports hall.
Working closely with the architectural team at Arc Partnership, a joint venture between Nottinghamshire County Council and SCAPE, the design is being carefully developed to maximise the quality of the learning environment while remaining in keeping with the character of the surrounding community. Main construction works are expected to begin in 2026 and are set to be delivered in phases to ensure minimal disruption to students and staff.
Procured via the SCAPE Construction framework, the project team is committed to delivering meaningful community benefits. To achieve this, Morgan Sindall will source local labour and subcontractors within a 20-mile radius and is targeting a social value return of over 30%, ensuring that project investment directly benefits the local economy and people.
Richard Fielding, Area Director for Morgan Sindall Construction in the Midlands, said:
We’re incredibly proud to be working with The White Hills Park Trust to help realise their vision for Bramcote College. Following a collaborative and carefully considered pre-construction phase, it’s fantastic to now be starting the enabling works.
This marks an exciting step towards delivering a modern, high-quality learning environment that will serve students and the wider community for generations to come.”
James Macdonald, Chief Operating Officer at The White Hills Park Trust, said:
Having worked with Morgan Sindall on site marks the end of the beginning for this exciting project. We are incredibly pleased to be working with them to deliver this much-needed and transformative school for our students, staff and the wider community.”
Mark Robinson, Group Chief Executive for SCAPE Group, said:
Once complete, Bramcote College will sit at the centre of its community, offering a modern learning environment and high-quality facilities.
Arc Partnership’s design has been carefully developed to inspire and engage learnings, with the inclusion of cutting-edge science labs, technology rooms and sports amenities. The project is also being delivered through SCAPE’s gold accredited Construction Framework which will enable project to benefit from early contractor engagement, expert support and proactive management, ensuring time and cost efficiencies throughout delivery.”
