Steel completes for Northfleet primary school

Structural steelwork has been completed for the new Rosherville Church of England Academy in Northfleet, Kent.

Working on behalf of Morgan Sindall Construction, H. Young Structures has erected 185t of steelwork for the project.

Located in the Cable Wharf housing development, the project will replace a local, outdated school. Once open, the new facility will provide 420 places for children; 280 more than the current site.

The site will also meet the requirements for 15 places in a specialist resource provision for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), as well as a 26-place nursery.

The majority of the school building consists of a two-storey steel frame, with precast flooring. One end of the structure is attached to a multi-use hall and kitchen.

Outdoor facilities will consist of a 3G artificial grass sports pitch, two multi-use games areas and a wildflower garden.

Head Teacher at Rosherville Church of England Academy, Justine Roddan, said: “We are incredibly excited about this new chapter for Rosherville. The move to the Cable Wharf development, along with the introduction of our new nursery and specialist resourced provision reflects our commitment to providing the best possible learning environment for our students and embodies the community’s dedication to supporting excellence in education for all.”
