Steel rises for Northolt school redevelopment

Part of the Government’s School Rebuilding Programme scheme, which focuses on the rebuilding and refurbishment of schools and sixth forms across England, the steelwork frame for a new two-storey building at Northolt High School is quickly taking shape.

The west London school project, being constructed by main contractor Kier, will be completed over two phases. This will allow demolition of the existing buildings, while also allowing the school to remain open with sufficient space.

New facilities, which will also be made available for community use, will include 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.

Marion Budd, Headteacher of Northolt High School, said: “This new building also creates lots of opportunities for our local community, all of whom will benefit from access to brand new sport and arts facilities. We are truly looking forward to placing our school at the heart of our community as well as building strong partnerships with other schools, universities and businesses to further enhance the offer to current and prospective students and staff.”

The project’s steelwork is being fabricated, supplied and erected by William Haley Engineering.
