A CGI shows what the new building will look like Kier Northern has been awarded a £5.7 million contract for the design and construction of Rose Hill Primary School in Stockport.

Since September 2009 Rose Hill Primary School has operated on two sites and the new build, which will open next year, will replace the existing school building on the Elmfield Drive site in Marple which is over 40 years old and in poor condition.

The new two-storey building will feature green roofs and enhanced sports pitches with additional and improved access.

Kier Northern was appointed by Stockport Council and NPS Stockport to carry out the work which is being funded by the primary capital programme, an initiative introduced by the previous government.

Rose Hill Primary School head teacher Lynn Bragg commented: "The building will help transform the school and allow us to offer children an enhanced educational experience."
