Work starts on new teaching block for Birchington school

Morgan Sindall Construction’s Southern Home Counties business has commenced work on a new teaching block at Birchington Church of England Primary School in East Kent.

Appointed by the Department for Education, the £13.4 million project will deliver a modern, two-storey teaching block offering 1,455m² of floor space.

Designed to enhance both learning and social interaction, the building will incorporate 10 classrooms, a library, an ICT suite, main reception, four group rooms, a kitchen and a hall.

Guy Hannell, Area Director at Morgan Sindall Construction in the Southern Home Counties, said: “This project represents a fantastic opportunity to create a modern, sustainable learning environment that will benefit pupils, staff, and the wider community for years to come.

“Working closely with the Department for Education, Birchington C of E Primary School, and our design team, we’re focused on delivering a high-quality educational facility that prioritises wellbeing, energy efficiency, and long-term value. All while creating meaningful opportunities for local people throughout the construction process.”
