This split-site extension to the existing St Thomas C of E was the first project to be awarded through the re-appointed North West Construction Hub Framework.
The works included the construction of a two-storey, three-form-entry junior department for 360 pupils aged between seven and 11.
The new building consists of 12 classrooms, an intervention room, community room, 180m2 cushioned vinyl floor hall, full production kitchen along with the main reception and office space. The new building also benefits from a large learning resource area which can be used as an adaptable space for teaching, library facilities and IT learning. A unique feature of this project was the provision of extensive external hard and soft play areas and sports pitches, the design of which was influenced by the pupils themselves.
