Wirral school project celebrates construction milestone

Project team members and clients have marked a key milestone in the construction of the new Mosslands School in Wallasey with a steel-signing ceremony.

Designed by Ellis Williams Architects, the new school will provide a modern, state-of-the-art learning environment across a 19-acre site, with flexible spaces supporting high-quality teaching in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics.

The redevelopment also includes two sports halls, a replacement all-weather sports pitch, a multi-use games area, new car parking and cycle storage. The existing school buildings will be demolished once the new campus is complete.

Working on behalf of main contractor Willmott Dixon, Hambleton Steel is fabricating, supplying and erecting the steelwork.

Anthony Dillon, Managing Director for the North at Willmott Dixon, said: “The steel signing marks an exciting milestone in the transformation of The Mosslands School and it was great to celebrate this achievement with the school, the Department for Education (DfE) and our project partners.” 

Councillor Julie McManus, Deputy Leader of Wirral Council, added: “The Mosslands School is one of a number of schools being transformed through the DfE’s School Rebuilding Programme, which is delivering improved facilities and high-quality learning environments for future generations. We’re delighted to see this level of investment in Wirral, helping to provide our young people with the best possible start in life and a school environment they can truly be proud of.”
