Bouygues UK and Redbridge Council announce they have held a ground breaking ceremony to officially mark the start of construction on Isaac Newton Primary Academy in Ilford, east London, part of the ARK Schools network, one of the country’s top-performing academy groups.

Carrying out the ground breaking ceremony was Tam Broadway, Headteacher of the new Isaac Newton Primary Academy, Councillor Keith Prince, Leader, London Borough of Redbridge, Councillor Felicity Banks, Mayor of Redbridge, Councillor Alan Edward Weinberg MBE and Darren Gill, Operations Director, Bouygues UK.


The new primary school, which will have a polycarbonate façade to create a 'glowing box' effect, is being built on the former site of Ilford Public Baths. It will provide 630 places for children between four and 11 years old, making Isaac Newton Academy an all-through 4-18 school.

Bouygues UK was awarded the £6.75 million scheme in January 2014.
