Construction firm Kier has been chosen by the Department for Education to redevelop Northolt High School in the London Borough of Ealing.
The redevelopment will bring new facilities to Ealing, both for teachers and students and for local people.
The existing school buildings on site will be demolished to make space for the new facility which will accommodate the existing 900 secondary places, 200 sixth form places and 30 additional resource provision (ARP) places for student with special educational needs.
The new school will be designed and constructed over two phases, using Kier’s K-School design platform, and will be net zero carbon in its operation, in line with the DfE’s latest output specification requirements. It will consist of thermally efficient buildings, incorporating the use of ground source heat pump technology, and green roofs with photovoltaic panels.
New facilities will also be made available for community use, including outdoor sport pitches, a three court multi-use games area (MUGA); long jump and outdoor gym area, amphitheatre with covered canopy, cinema, activity studio and fitness rooms.
The redevelopment forms part of the Government’s School Rebuilding Programme (SRP) scheme which focuses on the rebuilding and refurbishment of schools and sixth forms across England.
Recently, Northolt High School, the Department for Education and Kier hosted a groundbreaking event to celebrate the construction works on site.
David Rowsell Managing Director, Kier Construction, said: "We are delighted that we have been appointed by the Department for Education to design and construct the new Northolt High School. This project will transform the school into a state-of-the-art facility which will have a positive impact on the community for years to come.
"We look forward to using our wealth of experience in building first-class educational facilities to deliver this redevelopment, which will enable the school to expand its additional resource provision and sport facilities, ensuring the school has an inclusive academic and pastoral environment."
