Construction firm Kier has been selected to develop a new £5 million primary school and nursery in Norfolk.

The works will be delivered through the Norfolk County Council Framework and the project will be designed and Project Managed by Norfolk Property Services.

The new purpose designed, single storey primary and nursery facilities will relocate the existing Gayton Primary School to a larger site, increasing capacity from 139 to 210 school places. Gayton Primary School and Nursery will comprise seven classrooms and group rooms, with a central library and resource area and a multi-purpose hall. The nursery building will provide two children's rooms, associated toilets and nappy change, along with a shared kitchen area, storage and administration areas.

We have a wealth of experience in providing highest quality education facilities for Norfolk."
