£15m School Contract To Be Awarded
A £15million contract for the construction of a new home for St Hilda's Church of England High School in Sefton Park is set to be awarded by the Mayor's Cabinet, the Liverpool Express reports.
Under the proposal, Morgan Sindall will build a new four storey building on land at Sefton Grange on Croxteth Drive, adjacent to the existing site.
The present school building will then be demolished and used for games pitches, a sports hall and a car park.
It will be the sixth scheme to be delivered under the Liverpool Schools Investment Programme, in which Mayor Joe Anderson has pledged to build 12 new schools in a £169 million investment.
Mayor Anderson said: "This is great news for pupils at St Hilda's and is part of our commitment to making sure our children are taught in fantastic surroundings.
"This proposal will see a much needed new building for current and future pupils and also the development of improved sports facilities.
"Work on the investment programme is moving forward apace and I am pleased that we are delivering on one of my key pledges."
