About the project
The school, located at Glebe Farm, will be an all-through school with 1,569 school places for pupils aged five to 16 and will also include a nursery with the equivalent of 39 full time places, as well as a workplace for 170 staff members.
Development of the school will be located on a 95,000 square metre site – an area larger than 13 football pitches – off Burney Drive in Glebe Farm, where hundreds of new houses have been built. The main structure has over 600 tonnes of structural steel to support all elements of the building.
You can find out more about our appointment to the project in this press release.
