Work Starts On New £7.5m Primary School In London
Work is underway on a new £7.5 million primary school in London.
The new Ashmole Primary School in Southgate is being built by Morgan Sindall and work is scheduled for completion in summer 2018.
The building will feature 2,072 sq m of learning space for 420 pupils aged four to eleven. In addition, the project team will deliver external landscaping work and drainage upgrades to the surrounding sports pitches.
Ashmole Primary School is based on the same site as the existing Secondary Academy, Ashmole Academy. Once complete, both schools will form a centre of excellence in education, supporting students from early years through to age eighteen.
Neil Franklin, area director at Morgan Sindall, said: "We are so pleased to have been appointed to deliver the new Ashmole Primary School, which will create a contemporary learning environment to serve future generations in Southgate.
"The new primary school building forms a key part of the wider plans to create a centre of educational excellence and we’re delighted to be delivering this fantastic facility for school users and the community. We look forward to working closely with the wider project team and the school as we progress with this exciting project."
Christopher Tofallis, Head Teacher at Ashmole Primary School, said: "We are all very excited with the building of our new school. We are looking forward to September 2018 where we will see all our children enjoy the excellent facilities set up for their use."
