Ashe Construction has completed a £2.1 million primary school expansion project in Stratford-upon-Avon.

The contractor worked alongside the East Midlands Property Alliance (EMPA) to deliver the scheme at Bishopton Primary School.

More than 200 additional pupils can now be accommodated at the school in order to support the increased demand for extra school places in the area.

Works included enlarging the current assembly hall, building new area of car parking, eight additional classrooms a new reception class and refurbished offices.

Contract manager at Ashe Construction, Rob Slack, said: "Due to an increased need for school spaces in the area, Bishopton School was required to become a two-form entry school to meet the growing demand. It is great to have had the opportunity to work on such a significant project.

"The work at Bishopton School went extremely well. From the outset, Ashe Construction worked together with the pupils, staff and parents to ensure that the project was finished to the highest standard and with little disruption to the student's day to day learning. As a result, we finished the expansion two weeks early ready for the start of the September term."
