Morgan Sindall Completes Work On Three New Slough Schools

Construction News Image
Morgan Sindall has successfully handed over three school projects worth £15.7 million in Slough, Berkshire.

The company delivered Claycots Primary School (£8.2m), Priory School Special Education Needs facility (£2.6m) and St Mary's CE Primary School (£5.9m) on behalf of Slough Borough Council, providing 674 additional school places.

The projects, which expand and enhance existing campuses, have been developed through Slough Urban Renewal (SUR); a joint venture between the council and Morgan Sindall Investments Limited. The schemes form part of the council's wider £54m investment in its education provision since 2015.

Elsewhere, work to expand James Elliman Academy's dining hall and build six new classrooms was finished last September, while construction of a new three-storey teaching block at Wexham School, on Norway Drive, is due to complete later this year.

James York, Morgan Sindall's Area Director in Slough, said: "The holistic approach afforded by the public-private partnership allows us to deliver modern, future-proof learning environments in Slough at a pace that other areas of the country can only dream of at present.

"SUR is enabling rapid regeneration across the borough; removing the traditional delay from planning desk to breaking ground. We're incredibly pleased to hand over this latest trio of school projects and look forward to continuing to work with the local authority to deliver its investment in the next generation."

Cllr Shabnum Sadiq said: "The council's ambitious school places programme has seen a multi-million pound investment in primary and secondary school buildings, extensions and new schools to meet the needs of Slough's current and future young people.

"We are delighted to see our students now benefitting from greatly improved teaching spaces, libraries and dining halls, as well as new sports halls and playgrounds."

Andy Howell, SUR General Manager, said: "SUR and Morgan Sindall is demonstrating the ability to respond quickly to deliver the Council's investment in new high quality learning facilities and the demand for school places."
