Further Bristol school success for Skanska

Skanska has been awarded a £23.3M contract to build the new 1,220-place Trinity Academy in Bristol. The secondary school will provide places for 900 students aged 11 to 16, as well as 320 sixth form students.

Since the Bristol Local Education Partnership (LEP) was formed in 2006, Skanska has delivered over 70 school projects, creating over 15,000 secondary places and more than 8,000 new primary places across the city.

Skanska Regional Director for the Building Team John Brennan said: “The South West team is delighted that we are able to do this further work to support pupils in Bristol. It’s the perfect example of building what matters.”

Councillor Anna Keen, Cabinet Lead for Education and Skills at Bristol City Council said: “Demand for school places in Bristol is expected to vastly increase, so we’re supporting the opening of new schools and expanding existing ones though our Learning City Partnership – and Trinity Academy is a good example of this partnership work in practice.

“Lockleaze is an area of growth and regeneration with new homes and workspace. By working collectively with partners, we have been able to invest in new education facilities in the area to help ease the transition for local children from primary to secondary school.”
