Construction firm Willmott Dixon completed the structure of a new primary school in Maidstone, Kent.

Tiger Primary School, part of Future Schools Trust, held a 'topping out' ceremony in conjunction with Willmott Dixon to celebrate the structural completion of the new school building.

Working on behalf of Future Schools Trust, Willmott Dixon hosted the celebration event to mark the school reaching the highest point of building works.


Willmott Dixon's work has involved constructing a new two-storey primary school within New Line Learning Academy’s existing campus. Once open in 2015, the £3.8 million school will house 420 Key Stage 1 & 2 pupils from across the local area.

Roger Forsdyke, Willmott Dixon deputy managing director for its local Cobham office, said: "We're very pleased to have reached this significant milestone for such an important project in the local Kent community. The new school will provide a boost to the region's education offering and serve young people in the area for many years to come."
