Works complete on £4.8m primary school

Contractor G F Tomlinson has completed construction works on the new Fradley Park primary school in Lichfield.

The £4.8mscheme sees 210 primary and 26 nursery places become available to the local area, ready for the start of the next academic year this September and is the first school to be built in the area in more than 40 years.

The new, two storey 1FE primary free school has been delivered through the Staffordshire County Council Framework and was project managed by Entrust. It will be run by the John Taylor Multi Academy Trust.

G F Tomlinson has been instructed to deliver five schools to date for Staffordshire County Council with Fradley Park Primary School being the latest, following the recently completed Bramshall Meadows Primary School in Uttoxeter.

Chris Flint, managing director at G F Tomlinson, said: “We are delighted to have completed Fradley Park Primary School with framework partner Staffordshire County Council, which will provide much-needed school and nursery places for the local community in Lichfield.

“Our completion of this project also coincides with that of Bramshall Meadows Primary School – another scheme that we have worked on through the Staffordshire County Council Framework. We’re pleased to continue to be very active in this region, in the education sector and in general, building numerous quality schools throughout the Midlands.”
