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."
