Speller Metcalfe has started work on a £2.5 million school expansion project in Gloucestershire.
The scheme will see Grangefield Primary School in Bishops Cleeve expanded from a one-form entry primary to a two-form entry facility. Completion is scheduled for September 2017.
In addition, a new eight-classroom building will be developed, as well as expanding the size of the main hall and building a new kitchen.
Upon completion, the new classroom building will see the school upgraded to 2FE status, with the original school building becoming a dedicated infant's block.
Speller Metcalfe's joint owner, Andy Metcalfe, said: "To have a fantastic new classroom building is not only beneficial to the school and local families, but will create employment opportunities for our supply chain within Gloucestershire.
"As a local company we are focused on reinvesting in the local economy to ensure we can deliver the best buildings possible through development of skills, using new and innovative construction methods and creating sustainable, lower impact projects."
Karen Lewis, headteacher at Grangefield Primary School, added: "We're really excited to see this next stage of development and looking forwarded to be able to give more children the opportunity to come to Grangefield from next September."
