The schools are: Asterdale Primary, Carlyle Infant School, Cavendish Close Junior School, Chaddesden Park Primary, Reigate Primary and Allestree Woodlands Academy.

Bowmer & Kirkland Chairman, John Kirkland, said: "I am absolutely delighted that we have been awarded this first batch of schools in Derby – particularly as this was our first bid for projects through this framework.

"This success is thanks to the hard work and dedication of our staff. I am particularly pleased that it will be Bowmer & Kirkland helping to improve the facilities and school lives for many of our local children."

The projects are new-build replacements for existing schools and they will all start together this summer.
